I suppose the fact of the matter is that the order of the gospels in P45 is not 100% secure. <BR/><BR/>Kenyon described P45 as originally being found/purchased in two bundles: Mark & Acts; Luke & John (‘in a much better state of preservation’). This suggests that Mark came last, and suggested the possibility that P45 originally had the "Western" order: Matt, John, Luke, Mark. <BR/>The subsequent analysis by Skeat (1993, one year after Parker's 1992) confirmed this and put the theory of the original "Western" order for P45 on a more secure footing: T.C. Skeat, "A Codicological Analysis of the Chester Beatty Papyrus Codex of the Gospels and Acts (P45)," Hermathena 155(1993), 27-43.Peter M.

Parker, in his monograph on Codex Bezae (Codex Bezae: an early Christian manuscript and its text, CUP, 1992), pp. 116-118, has a detailed discussion of the matter, including evidence from Greek MSS (D, X, and a few minuscules), versions, and patristic testimony.<BR/>Surprisingly he does not mention p45.Mike Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01282608301480952555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-1168346414868955652007-01-09T12:40:00.000+00:002007-01-09T12:40:00.000+00:00P45, D & W for a start.
