>>>The point is (which most ‘scholars’ seem to miss) is that older surviving ones do not at all necessarily mean they are better or more reliable.<<<

I have read something about that before. Another point mentioned was the weather: that is, some climates, such as the dry climate in Egypt, are easier on the manuscripts than more humid climates.

Anyway, thanks for the info.

“The Septuagint and Jewish Worship,” by Henry St John Thackery, 1920
