Scribal hands and Currier languages
#9
It won't help anyone prove a point, if that is what you mean. If it was a copy, we'd still only expect one or maybe two hands. At least standard practice would have been that one copyist finishes one copy, unless he dies at which point a colleague finishes the job.

So if Currier is actually right, and there are between six and eight hands, wouldn't that be fascinating? We are gathering pieces of the puzzle, and this looks like an important piece. But it looks like there is still quite a bit of uncertainty about whether Currier was right or not.
