If you’re teaching #Greek, #palaeography, #manuscripts, #textcriticsm etc. this coming year, consider adding my website to your course assignments or resources. It’s free, I don’t collect/sell your info, and it’d be nearly impossible to cheat with AI. See 🧵 for details
Jacob W. Peterson@jacobwpeterson.com · 7mo agoMy (free) website for learning to read from Greek manuscripts is available. Still some tweaks to be made but it’s ready with 12 lessons, tips and hints, downloadable reports if you use it for a class, and links to lots of resources. Please share and give feedback! xeirographa.com
