This is a helpful introduction to the process of interpreting texts on papyrus.

This is a very helpful discussion of certain limitations in the current formatting of the Duke Database of Documentary Papyri and the way those limitations impact on searching.

This is an interesting discussion, based initially on the new Sappho papyrus which Dirk Obbink announced a couple of weeks ago.

  1. "In just the past eight weeks, I’ve seen four or five additional papyri that no one knows about"

    The context in the article suggests NT papyri - and if so hopefully they are published soon

  2. I am still waiting to see published the papyrus fragment I saw on display at a Green Collection event almost a year ago now. The 2nd/3rd century fragment containing portions of 1 Corinthians 8:10-9:3, 27; 10:1-6
