Beschreibungen/Notizen

• My old friend Meyer Schapiro has paid me a rare compliment by gathering around him the best brains among his students for the purpose of subjecting my paper on the Persian Diatessaron manuscript in Florence to a thorough scrutiny. Mistakes, even fundamental ones, can be made by anyone, and I for one am only grateful to have them corrected, as Shapiro has done for me before in the matter of a paper I once wrote on the Calendar of 354. 1 Even if I should prove to be as wrong on every essential point as my severe critic tries to demonstrate, I should not regret my paper, if only because it has elicited from him such an impressive display of sagacity and erudition. However, it may also occur that a confrontation of divergent opinions fails to lead to any unchallengeable result, and while I acknowledge Schapiro's objections in some cases, there are others, and rather fundamental ones, which I am unable to accept, as will appear from what follows.
