Cod Bon 1

Work on Ranke's Codex Fuldensis is again on the move. I have obtained a copy of the microfilm of the Cod Bon 1 manuscript, and have started to 're-typeset' the work, keeping as near as possible to the original format. I am adding very little to the manuscript, except an English translation, constructed using 'fragment substitution' as I did with the Gospel. Now I am doing it for the whole testament. As a by-product, I am correcting errors found in my re-typesetting of Ranke. I have done little more than 30 manuscript pages so far, and potentially, there are over 1000 pages in the task. Fortunately, there are only 35 lines per page, and on average, 4 words per line.
