Minuscule 880 (Gregory-Aland)

[edit]
ALT1 ... that minuscule 880, a 15th century manuscript of the New Testament, was written by George Hermonymus, a teacher of Reuchlin and Budeus?

  • This article is new enough and long enough. However I don't think that the hook is satisfactory as the article merely states that the manuscript was written by George Hermonymus but does not mention that he was a scribe, diplomat, scholar and lecturer.

  • OK, I took it from the article about Hermonymous, but perhaps ALT1 is more interesting. On Greek wikipedia I have found this source. It is written: Μαθεται του Ερμωνυμου εγενοντο πολλοι των υστερον επιφενων ως Φιλιππος Μελαγχθων, Ρευχλινος, και Γαυλιελμος Βουδειος. Translation: Hermonymous had numerous disciples and followers like Philip Melanchton, Reuchlin, and Gaulielmus Boudeus. Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 13:28, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
ALT1 is fine. The article now achieves all the DYK criteria. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:38, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
