New Testament Manuscripts: The Beat Goes On

For the past twelve months, I’ve been on sabbatical from my teaching duties at Dallas Seminary. The sabbatical officially comes to an end on June 30, but the work goes on. We photographed about 80,000 pages of text, went to ten different countries, and discovered almost forty manuscripts. We have been granted permission to post several of these manuscripts on line. Some recent postings at the CSNTM website (www.csntm.org) are as follows:
36 MSS from Athens have been uploaded to the web site in the past several weeks. The uploads include 30 MSS from the Benaki Museum and six from the National Historical Museum; 17 are continuous-text manuscripts and 19 are lectionaries for a total of nearly 14,000 images. They cover a range in date from the 8th century to the 18th and include five palimpsests.
More will be uploaded in the next few weeks from other sites as well. Many readers of Parchment & Pen support our mission, and we are extremely grateful.

Mitch! It’s you! Did you know I was looking for you months ago? Paul Copan was looking for you too, ya know. I finally saw the note you left for me on theologica. How’ve you been? I haven’t poked my head in here for quite awhile, but I’ll always stop in when the manuscript junkie posts a blog
Well anyway…. WELCOME BACK!
P.S. Don’t worry about using Dan’s thread for personal notes. He’s very tolerant.
