Sorry for the late reply to these comments.<BR/><BR/>Tommy: Thanks. This is a very helpful reference. I will get back to you on this one.<BR/><BR/>Eric: The usual categories to which I refer are, for example, gospels, Pauline epistles, and Catholic epistles for the NT. For the OT, we might expect to find a manuscript with the Minor Prophets, wisdom literature, etc... Miscellaneous codices have more creative groupings. Sorry for any lack of clarity.<BR/><BR/>Matthew: 3520 is an excellent example of how normal the miscellaneous codex is in early Coptic texts. 926 is very important for what it has to say about the early Bohairic textual tradition, but is not really a literary codex (although some of its contents are literary). <A HREF="http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/i/image/image-idx?id=S-APIS-X-3992%5D3B.TIF" REL="nofollow">3992</A> appears to be a Greek documentary text with a blank verso. Thanks for the pointer on Petrucci. This may have some good information on the Latin tradition.Christian Askelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381441700351009913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-21972193285967205202008-06-01T23:58:00.000+01:002008-06-01T23:58:00.000+01:00These may or may not be relevant:P.Mich. inv.926P....These may or may not be relevant:<BR/>P.Mich. inv.926<BR/>P.Mich. inv.3992<BR/>P.Mich. inv.3520<BR/><BR/>You might also try reading: Writers and Readers in Medieval Italy: Studies in the History of Written Culture, by A. Petrucci; translated by C.M. Radding (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1995), it has an intersting discussion on unitaries, miscellanies and composite codices.<BR/><BR/>Matthew HamiltonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-79943957110665515662008-05-30T20:23:00.000+01:002008-05-30T20:23:00.000+01:00For the uninitiated (like me), it might make a gre...For the uninitiated (like me), it might make a great and educational post if you write up something describing the various categories of the codices that exist and in which these miscellaneous ones don't fit. This might also give us a chance to sleuth around and be of more help on your question. I know I'd enjoy the challenge.Eric Rowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559055709208918638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-72895812002972089212008-05-30T16:21:00.000+01:002008-05-30T16:21:00.000+01:00Christian,since you say "biblical," look up J.

Goehring; CSCO 521 Subsidia 85; Louvain, 1990), XVIII-XLVII (esp. XXVIII-XXX), where you will find an overview with other examples. <BR/><BR/>For example, P.Bodm. XXVII+XLV-XLVII), contains Daniel and another works.Tommy Wassermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674769923361035721noreply@blogger.com
