Nice, thanks so much, John! Here’s a link to the mss at page 257 for future reference: https://digi.vatlib.it/view/MSS_Vat.gr.2200/0257

This is a manuscript of the so-called Doctrina Patrum dating from the 8th century. The Creed is later analysed in detail by Saint Symeon of Thessalonica who died in 1429. It is notable that he reproduces the same punctuation as found in the early manuscript. This appears to have been the standard reading of the Creed in the Eastern Church up until the end of the 18th century. I have posted the text of Saint Symeon’s commentary along with an English translation on my academia.edu page: https://www.academia.edu/171632043/Saint_Symeon_of_Thessalonica_On_the_Creed
Best wishes

the dead giveaway is the lack of nomina sacra.

παρακαλῶ. If you like Greek fonts, check out my post dedicated to fonts. Most of them are pretty standard, but there are a few links at the end that point to more majascule and miniscule fonts. https://www.mrgreekgeek.com/2021/06/03/the-best-free-polytonic-greek-fonts/

Oh sweet. Looks like Christmas came a few days late this year and I couldn’t be happier. Ευχαριστω, mgg!

χαίρε, Ελισαβετ!
Glad you like it. 🙂 Yeah, there’s definitely room for improvement. Maybe I’ll have to revisit it sometime and make a v2 edition!

Oops, looks the font website is indeed down. Thankfully, archive.org has got us covered. Here’s an archived link: https://web.archive.org/web/20240210004212/https://www.xn--schffel-7wa.ch/de_gruppe1.html

All it’s missing is the occasional little superscript letters to fill out a line to the right margin. The link for the font doesn’t work – do you know if there’s some other place I can get it?

I might expect, though, that to make a paleographer look twice, the left margin couldn’t be as straight. And maybe there’d be a space before “Ὁμολογῶ” and “Προσδοκῶ”… But maybe not.
