For science fair, I am going to attempt to look at textual transmission in (very very) roughly similar situations to that of New Testament transmission. For this to work, I need as many participants as possible. I'm not really sure my research is going to be too accurate, but for the purposes of a high school science fair project I think this will suffice.
That said: if there is anyone with a scanner and a little free time, I would very much appreciate it if some of you would be willing to help out. What I would need is you to copy the Latin text (whether you know Latin or not!) from either a printed copy or another handwritten copy onto paper (using your writing utensil and paper type of choice) in your normal handwriting. Then I would need you to scan that paper in and send it back to me in PDF format... preferably a color copy just so it can be closest to the original. If it's multiple pages long and you need to send separate PDF documents or whatever, that will work too.
It's not too much text--it's I John chapter 1 in the Vulgate. HOWEVER, please email me for specifically what you will need to copy! If anyone would be willing to participate please post below or PM me... email would actually be the best as documents will need to be exchanged. My email is [email protected]. Or if you have questions about how it works, you can ask those too. I need as many participants as possible within the next few days.
Thank you so much in advance to those who can participate!
NOTE: Please contact me first to see what you need to copy! Some people will need to copy the original text; others will need to copy others copies.
