Dear David,

>I'm looking for an article that deals with KALUMMA in the Hellenists and the
>Jews (ancient).  Also, artwork that may portray the use of KALUMMA.  Does
>anyone know if it was standard for hellenistic women to wear a KALUMMA?  Can
>you cite a reference to help me focus my search on this term?  Also, anyone
>who has explored how this may affect passages like: NKJ 2 Corinthians 3:16
>Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil (KALUMMA) is taken away.

There is a pretty good treatment of this subject in Anthony 
Thiselton's commentary on 1 Corinthians in the New International 
Greek Testament Commentary series.

					Yours,
