IMAGE ACCESS

THIS MANUSCRIPT IS REAL, BUT ITS IMAGES ARE KEPT BY THE LIBRARY.

We can still show you what the manuscript is, what it contains, and why it matters. Use the library link below when its images are available there.

CONTEXT

Why it is fascinating

Here we know the copy story: one manuscript was copied from another named manuscript. That gives us a rare chance to follow how a Hebrew New Testament moved from one copy to the next.

TEXT COMPARISON

Have we compared the wording?

Not yet. We will only list differences after the manuscript text has been checked line by line.

About the images

Manchester lets people reuse these images for noncommercial use with credit. Because MANUSKRPT may be used commercially, we link to the library instead of treating the images as unrestricted.
