Document Details : Title: Grenfell and Hunt on the Dates of Early Christian Codices Subtitle: Setting the Record Straight Author(s): NONGBRI, Brent Journal: Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists Volume: 48 Date: 2011 Pages: 149-162 DOI: 10.2143/BASP.48.0.3209296 Abstract : Since the middle of the twentieth century, there has been a tendency among scholars to marginalize the palaeographical opinions of Grenfell and Hunt. Their alleged belief that the codex format was a post-third century development is said to have induced them to date fragments of Chrstian codices much later than they would have on strictly palaeographical grounds. I argue that this is a serious misrepresentation of their views and practices. |
