RESEARCH cannot be conducted without materials. This is as true in the fields of the humanities as it is in natural or social science' A man shut up in an empty room may meditate and reflect and imagine; but he can_hardly pursue ,"."u.ilt - not, at least, in the fields of humanistic inquiry' Humanistic re- search demands materials. Some humanistic materials cannot be transferred and brought within the reach of research;...... But there are materials, just as important in their way, which can be brought to the research man; original materials, in the wa-y of inscrip- tions, manuicripts, miniatures, literary and documentary - thgsg can be secured and biought within the reach of humanistic research in our own universities and ins-titutes.Of course, they are becoming more and more difficult to obtain; more and more they are finding their way into great public collec- tions; which will not let them go. Ten years ago a seasoned dealer in such things assured me that there was not a Greek New Testament manuscript to be h"ad in Europe. This proved to be not quite true, but it reflects the general situation. Yet slch mateiials must be made available if that particular {orm o[ humanistic research is to be practised or taught. Such materials are indespen- sably necessaryto such research...... (InEoduction by Edgar |' Goodspeed-to the descriptive cataiogue of Greek New Testament mss. in America, compiled by Kenneth W. Clark, Chicago 1937). THE PIiINCIPAL (GR,EEK) IINCIAL MSS. OF TIIE NEW TESTAMENT, BY WILL. EIENRY PAINE HATCH, CTXICAGO 1938' 4to. A fine publication. Besides a valuable reproduction apparatus of 76 pla_teswith excellent in- descripiive text and bibliography the book is completed by .an troduition, dealing with the early book, materials o[ writing (papyr-us, vellum etc.), ink, forms of books etc., very use{ul to those not acquainted with the field of study of early manuscripts' DISCOVERY OF CHRISTIAN TEXTS IN EGYPT. A wonderful and important discovery was recently made in Egypt- A more or less complete fourth century codex on papyrus, bound in leather, has come to light. The volume contains, besidesother Gnostic works, the whole text of the lo"stGospel according to the Egyptians (Chronique d'Egypte, April 1948). DISCOVERY OF MANUSCRIPTS OF ORIGENES AND OF DIDYMUS TIIE BLIND. At Toura, a little village situated a few miles from Cairo, labourers working in a quarry, discovered in a large vault a lulky lot of Greek papyri of the 6th or Ttit century A.D., written in a neat Byzantine cursive -and consisting of Bibhcal commlntaries of Didymus the Blind and of works of Orige-nes, where- of considerable amongst the lost commentary on the lpistle to the Romans and portio'ns of the important treatise Contra Celsus (Revue de I'Histoire des Religions, pp. 131 f.f.. 1916). Christian libraries were in dhe time of the Arab conquest-can of Egypt much harried and the concealment by some priest of his valuable little library be "uiily u.cor1oted for. DISCOVERY OF OLD HEBREW BIBLICAL TEXTS A most alarming discovery was made in Palestina in November 1947. Near Hebron a number of skin-rolls has come to light, aof,arently'old dating f.o." tt " first centuury B.9. and containing, besides other Testamenial books, co-mmentariesand apocrypha,the Book of |esaiah. The discoveryis divided between the Ameriian School for Oriental Research and the University o[ ferusalem. A PALESTINIAN SYRIAC PALIMPSEST LEAF OF ACTS XXI.

The discoveries of Greek papyri made in the last forty years constitute a dramatic and important chapter in the history of Greek studies, ,Papyri began to come to light in 1752 when the library of an Epicurean philosopher was uncovered in l-l'erculaneum and twenty-sic years later, in 1778, a group of forty or {ifty rolls was found in Egypt, probably in the Fayum, one of '*"hich is preserved in the Naples rnuseum. In 1820 the Serapeum papyri were discovered and passed into the museums of [-ondon, Paris, I-eyden, Rome and Dtesden. The next EJreat find rvas made in 1877, on the site of Arsinoe, in the Fayum. This great mass oI private ,l documents found its way into the collection of the Archduke Rainer at Vienna. A11 these l finds were made by native diggers and rnostly by chance. But in 1889 the first disccvery o{ Greek papyri by archeologists was macie by Profussor W. M. Flinders Petrie at Gurob, in the Fayum. There he found mummies of the Ptolemaic period with breast'pieces, sandals and head-pieces made of papyrus cartonnage, - ol waste papyri glued together into a sort of pasteboard, which had been whitened over and painted with moriuary designs. These Petrie Papyli 311ru.,ed much attention because of their Ptolemaic date, and because many remarkable lite;;ry pieces n'ere found among them, A neu' siage in the progress of papyrus research was reached in the work oI Grenfell and Hunt at Behnesa, in Upper Egypt, in 1897. There the Romans in early Christian times had cleared out their record office, and sent out baskets full of old documents to be piled up and burned. The fire had smouldered and gone out however, and sand had covered the heap, so ihat Grenfell's men carried the papyri to his camp in some cases in the very traslOxyrhynchus Papyri, which aow

at seventeen volumes. Grenfell and Hunt dug at Tebtunis in the Fayum in 1900, and at eh in Upper Egypt in 1903, in vuihich year they also returned to Behnesa and pursued their Grcavations there, with success. Other archeologists also have gathered Greek papyri from the drier stlata lying back iom the Nile, and a number of schoiars have worked upon them...... The value of these ludies for the language of the New Testament has become increasingly evident, and some -guailtance with such documents nust now be recognised as an indispensable part of a torough training for New Testament work. Multiplied references and even quoted instances annot take the place of continuous study of complete documents of different kinds. Indeed, 6c sheer variety of these gives a valuable picture of the life of New Testament times." (Edgar f. Goodspeed,preface to ,,A Greek papyrus Reader", Chicago 1933).

There are also some letters belonging to another column. A very attractive and important text o[ a mythological character. The fragments contain a list of proper names, the whole context however not being clear. Sheet a, line 17, contains a division, 33 the letter Delta or Labda must have indicated the beginning of a new chapter. .the Sheet a contains on le{t a few fragmentary line-s in siaaller uncial siript possibly-a scholion. The sheets consist mainly of mythological proper tr"ro". as found in the manuals of. Apollodorus, Hgginus a.o. ThJ trug'ir io not re- present genealogical tables the heroes of sheet a and b being of the same ge- neration. Sheet b begins with the family of. Tindarcos and Leda, soon every connection is lost, however with Acamas, Aetolos, Thessa/os we meet some'heroes epo- nymi, the series is interrupted however by Neslor and some unknown heroes. The names are from the period before the Trojanic war; hence the name Aeneas in this series is unintelligible. We still possess several lists o[ the Atgonauts a1d 9f the partisans in the Calydonian hunt which are varying from each other (compare Seeliger,in Rosiker l,507 ff.) Sheet B also containi several o[ these names: the presence however of. Amarynceu.s and of many of t\e Pelasgi makes every relation incomprehensible. lt is evident that the variants from the known texts are greater than the agreements and the whole pSpyrus still remains a puzzle.

An important text although the name of the martyr is lost an exact identification might still be possible. The Emperor Diocletian is mentioned together with Culcianus, the notorious persecutorof the Christians (about A,D,303), cf. Eusebius,Hist, Eccles. IX.l1.4, Epiphanias Haereses 68.1. Culcianus is known as prefect of Egypt from 3 Oxyrhynchu papyri (132, anno 305 and 1104.10anno 306. Cantarelli (Atti della Reale Acad. dei Lincei 12,2906, p. 48-129) suggestedthe hypothesisof Culcianus having first occupied the post of preasesin the Thebaid and as such Culcianus is qualified in the present papyrus, which makes the fragment very interesting and proves Cantarelli's hypothesis to be correct. The verso rnentions an edict issued by Diocletian with a command to all inhatritants (apparently to enforce them to make offerings to the Gods), the recto describesthe appea- rance of an angel in the prison.
