I would not have thought we would have to start the pox leber discussion again, but there are again and again newbies, who neither know much of palaeoraphy nor of the languages involved.
For all the beginners: When you have a Medieval text which is difficult to read, you build up an alphabet and start guessing, you must have mastered th language of course. After some time you get the sense, even if a letter is smudged or a whole passage is diffiult read. That is basic in Medieval Studies, you don't have to believe me, just go and ask people teaching the subject in a reognized institution
