The leaves of this codex are unusually thin and frail, and each leaf typically has damage around the lower margin, esp at the outer edge. For many years the Michigan portion of the codex was stored upright rather than lying flat, causing a certain amount of subtle damage that will not be apparent unless compared to the earlier photos. So in this respect, new digital images will be a step backwards. <br /><br />Michigan has black and white negatives form the thirties, and so presumably does the Chester Beatty Library: the colorized prints published by Kenyon are not very satisfactory in this regard.G.W.

In addition the facsimiles in the editions are relatively hard to get hold of. Furthermore the available images otherwise are relatively quite low quality, while these will I am confident be absolutely excellent. Peter M.
