Kraft's essay here: http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/rak/papyri/ebay/report-2007/report-frame.html<br /><br />If Bagnall is correct, then if the fragment is authentic we would expect that the other portions of the page would emerge either on the market or in private collections. Indeed, one would have thought with all the news additional pieces might have already been reported.<br /> Peter M.

But the scholars quickly wised up and started paying by surface area, so the Bedouin wouldn't damage the manuscripts. Is there a similar dynamic in the market for Coptic manuscripts?Drew Longacrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654439701997039055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-75051682061525043842012-09-21T08:25:53.550+01:002012-09-21T08:25:53.550+01:00Not a good sign for an unprovenanced artifact to h...Not a good sign for an unprovenanced artifact to have signs of modern tampering.Stephen C.
