I'm not able to find anywhere to subscribe via RSS. What am I missing?

Thanks,

See if this and the post that follows it answer your questions:

http://www.ibiblio.org/bgreek/forum/vie ... p=281#p274

If not, please ask your question in that thread so we can keep the questions about feeds together.

This is happening to me too. I believe it involves a memory setting that limits PHP's use of memory. I don't have shell access to be able to set this myself, I'll open up a ticket and see if I can get it resolved in a day or two.


This other URL works much better for me.

Jonathan, do you have access to the settings for the RSS feed? I know in ones that are under my own control I can (and have) set them to include the full post in the feed. That would be a nice thing if you got that set up, as it would effectively make the feed look like the old list for those fora to which one is subscribed. It should be available, as it is the twenty-first century, after all.... Thanks for all your work.

When I was on this forum "back in the day" there were no greek fonts to use. SO, now there are. How does one access your greek font for use here?

I don't know how I missed this earlier, but ... I haven't tweaked the RSS feed at all.

The best way to get a mail feed similar to the old B-Greek digests is to follow the instructions at this link:

Hi Richard,

I don't understand the question. Can you see Greek properly on our forum web pages? Or are you just asking how to use the same fonts when working locally on your computer?

I just joined B-Greek and am not sure how to proceed with a specific project involving patristic Greek. It might be best simply to paste a message here that I sent today to the JesusMysteries group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JesusMyst ... sage/63589). In short, I'm looking for someone to translate a V CE text from Greek into a modern language. . . I appreciate your guidance, whether this is appropriate for this forum, and will check this page daily for awhile. Thank you, Rene S.

--------
Perhaps now is the proper time to broach the existence of a virtually unknown work in Greek that I've had in digital and photocopy versions now for several years. It's "The Acts of Mark"--Acta Marci (Praxeis kai thaumata... Markou). Remarkably, this work has not yet been translated into any modern language. . .

My command of Greek is far from sufficient to produce anything like a reliable (much less exact) translation of this lengthy text. However, a perusal of the text shows that it is Christian, with much of the miraculous and hagiographic. It also appears to have very non-traditional elements which were later jettisoned by the tradition. . .

There are many other interesting aspects of this most obscure text. If anyone on this list is truly competent in Greek, or knows someone who is and who willing to do some translating, please let me know. Perhaps a provisional rendition in a modern language can be arranged. (You can contact me either on or off list.)

Hi Rene, and welcome to B-Greek!

There are many people on B-Greek who can do this kind of translation. Can the text be made available so people can see it, or is it confidential? Do you know if any original copies of the text exist, and where?

I have both a hardcopy and digital copy of the work, and am pleased to send either to someone who offers to translate all or part of the text, which is 25 pages of Greek divided (by the editor) into 35 sections, most sections averaging a paragraph each.

The first six sections are theologically the most important, I believe, and their translation would be a particular boon. . . The major part of Acta Marci (known separately as the "Martyrium of Mark") consists of the miraculous and Mark's martyrdom in Alexandria.

The Greek text that I have is in Analecta Bollandiana vol. 87 (1979):346-371.
