Perhaps foremost is Kent Richards (Executive Director of the Society of Biblical Literature), who from my earliest emailed communication about the project endorsed it enthusiastically and has provided constant encour- agement and practical support across the years from late 1999 onward. With Kent’s endorsement, other members of the staff in the Atlanta office of the SBL also merit my hearty thanks. Patrick Durusau was particularly influential and crucial in the cognate project of producing new color, digital photographs of the Freer biblical manuscripts. Frank Ames, and then particularly Bob Buller, were wonderfully cordial, efficient, and supportive in the planning and produc- tion of this volume. Matthew Collins graciously took the lead in arranging and scheduling the special session to feature presentations from some of the contribu- tors to this volume in the 2006 Annual Meeting of the SBL in Washington, D.C. At the early stages of my contacts with the Freer Gallery in 1999–2000, Dr. Thomas Lentz (then Deputy Director) and Dr. Dehejia (his successor until 2002) responded cordially and enthusiastically. Dr. Milo Beach (then Director) and some of his staff met with me in my visit to the Freer in the summer of 2000 and encouraged me to proceed with a proposal for a scholarly project focused on the Freer codices. I would also like to thank other members of the Freer Gallery staff, including Dr. Ann Gunter (Chief Curator), Timothy Kirk, Beth Duly, Tara Coram and Susan Kitsoulis (in the Collections Department), and Colleen Hen- nessey (Freer and Sackler Gallery Archives). I also acknowledge Dr. Julian Raby (current Director), who met with representatives of the SBL and me in March 2003 for further discussions about the project and other matters, including an exhibition. Bruce Prior brought to my attention the fact that 2006 would be the cen- tenary of Freer’s acquisition of the first four of the biblical manuscripts and suggested that I might approach the Freer Gallery with some plan for recognizing this. Bruce’s enthusiasm for the Freer manuscripts is infectious, and at this point of writing I look forward to seeing his own labor of love, a full and careful tran- scription of the Gospels codex. -ix - x ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I also acknowledge gratefully a travel grant awarded by the University of Edinburgh Development Trust, which covered my air fare to Washington in the summer of 2000 for that crucial first meeting with the Freer Gallery administra- tion and staff. We scholars do our work “on a shoestring,” so I also want to thank Frank Matera for providing me lodging in guest facilities of Catholic University of America during that visit, when I emailed him with my plaintive appeal. Introduction Larry W. Hurtado The Freer Biblical Manuscripts Among the many thousands of precious objects held by the Freer Gallery of Art are six biblical manuscripts that comprise one of the most important collections of such items in the world. Yet, although they initially generated enormous popu- lar and scholarly excitement internationally at the time of their acquisition and publication in the early twentieth century, in the subsequent decades they have received only sporadic serious attention from biblical scholars, and the general public today scarcely knows of them. The ten contributions to this volume are intended primarily to help redress the unjustified scholarly neglect, and they will illustrate for any interested reader the insufficiently explored significance of these manuscripts. This centennial year of the acquisition of the first four of them is an appropriate occasion to publish a fresh set of studies of what amounts to a small but highly valuable treasure trove of biblical manuscripts that now belong to the American people thanks to the generosity of Charles Freer. Freer purchased four of the six manuscripts in December 1906 from an Egyptian antiquities dealer in Cairo. These four Greek parchment manuscripts include a codex of the four Gospels commonly dated to the early fifth or late fourth

Between 1914 and 1918, over 2.5 million civilians lost their lives on the battlefields or to hunger and disease. From among those, over one million Armenians were targets of a systematic genocidal campaign organized by the Ottoman state. It was in the aftermath of this catastrophe that University of Michigan Professor of Archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858–1927) and U-M staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866–1947) em-barked on an expedition to the region, the purpose of which was to collect ancient Christian manuscripts destined to disappear in the postwar chaos.

  • Text of the Gospel of Mark: Lake Revisited
    BABELAO 3 (2014), p. 145-169 + Appendix, p. 171-289 © ABELAO (Belgium) The « Caesarean » Text of the Gospel of Mark: Lake Revisited By Didier Lafleur IRHT - Paris n the field of history and practice of New Testament textual criticism, two major stages were initiated during the last cen- tury by Kirsopp Lake. The first of these was the publication, Iin 19 02, of a survey concerning Codex 1 of the Gospels and its Allies, in the Texts and Studies series (7:3). The second stage was the pub- lication, in 1928, with Robert P. Blake and Silva New, of « The Caesarean Text of the Gospel of Mark » in the Harvard Theological Review (21:4). For the first time, the authors emphasized the exist- ence of such text on the basis of three major pieces of evidence: the Greek manuscripts, the patristic witnesses and the Oriental versions. Since then, the question of the « Caesarean » text-type has been a very disputed matter. It still remains an important tex- tual issue.1 1 This paper was first presented during the Society of Biblical Literature Annual Meeting 2012, Chicago, November 18. 146 D. LAFLEUR Our plan is not to discuss here about the « Caesarean » text and its subsequent developments, but to mainly focus the genesis of Lake’s publication. The survey of his preliminary works will help us to better consider, after a short account of Lake’s biobibliography, the way he followed until the 1928 « Caesarean Text of the Gospel of Mark » and which methodology he used. We will then emphasize one of the three pieces of evidence quot- ed by the authors, the evidence of the Greek manuscripts as de- scribed in their tables of variants.

  • Bushnell Family Genealogy, 1945
    BUSHNELL FAMILY GENEALOGY Ancestry and Posterity of FRANCIS BUSHNELL (1580 - 1646) of Horsham, England And Guilford, Connecticut Including Genealogical Notes of other Bushnell Families, whose connections with this branch of the family tree have not been determined. Compiled and written by George Eleazer Bushnell Nashville, Tennessee 1945 Bushnell Genealogy 1 The sudden and untimely death of the family historian, George Eleazer Bushnell, of Nashville, Tennessee, who devoted so many years to the completion of this work, necessitated a complete change in its publication plans and we were required to start anew without familiarity with his painstaking work and vast acquaintance amongst the members of the family. His manuscript, while well arranged, was not yet ready for printing. It has therefore been copied, recopied and edited, However, despite every effort, prepublication funds have not been secured to produce the kind of a book we desire and which Mr. Bushnell's painstaking work deserves. His material is too valuable to be lost in some library's manuscript collection. It is a faithful record of the Bushnell family, more complete than anyone could have anticipated. Time is running out and we have reluctantly decided to make the best use of available funds by producing the "book" by a process of photographic reproduction of the typewritten pages of the revised and edited manuscript. The only deviation from the original consists in slight rearrangement, minor corrections, additional indexing and numbering. We are proud to thus assist in the compiler's labor of love. We are most grateful to those prepublication subscribers listed below, whose faith and patience helped make George Eleazer Bushnell's book thus available to the Bushnell Family.
