Of course it's fiction. Mills and Boon make a fortune publishing fiction.Early XCian literature is simply fiction. That's all.
But the early XCian literature was originally produced in some scriptorium in antiquity by some literary team. I'd like to know the who and the when. And I'd like to know by whom and when the nomina sacra were invented.
Imagine if JRR Tolkien produced a book in which Bilbo Baggins was consistently presented as BB, Gandalf the Grey was consistently presented as GG and the resurrected Gandalf the White was consistently rendered as GW without any of the expanded names appearing in the book. Who would understand it? Who would bother reading it? Who would buy it?
