That vertical folding may be do more to a natural breakdown in this sheet due to a manufactural flaw. That is simply the nature of the material.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-1165483327714942362006-12-07T09:22:00.000+00:002006-12-07T09:22:00.000+00:00I'd be interested to know if anyone on the blog ha...I'd be interested to know if anyone on the blog has worked with single leaves much, and so whether this looks - on a purely material level - as if it the breakage down the middle looks like the papyrus might have been folded vertically.<BR/><BR/>I don't have my photocopy of the photo to hand, but it seems to me that in terms of the position on the page, the break is pretty much half way across the page. Of the last three full lines:<BR/><BR/>antepen.: 31 reconstructed characters; break after 14<BR/><BR/>penultimate: 30 reconstructed characters; break after 15<BR/><BR/>last full line: 28 reconstructed characters; break after 16<BR/><BR/>I'm more confident than Schenke that the text on the previous page (i.e. the beginning of Jn 20.19-31) could have started on a new line, and so this could have been a nice single page with the second and third Johannine resurrection pericopae. And we know that some Coptophones were quite interested in Thomas!<BR/><BR/>GathersSimon Gathercolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12975953298311472228noreply@blogger.com
