Extract

In November 1985, the British Museum turned over to me photographs in their files that they had made while conserving the leather binding of 75 for the Bibliothèque Bodmer, which contained fragments of Luke and John not previously published in the editio princeps or otherwise available to scholarship. This article reports on these fragments and includes three plates of the photographs.

Druck (1985), stated in the Introduction (pp. 48*–49*): “Only those Greek manuscripts can be mentioned here whose significance merits their citation for each variant, i.e., the “constant witnesses,” . . . All of the above papyri and uncials are cited in each instance for each variant when they are extant for the passage. Among them 75 is the most significant.”
