Papyrus Bodmer XIX

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Codex Bodmer XIX is a

Sahidic dialect of the Coptic language.[2]

The two books are paginated separately in the codex. According to Kasser four scribes worked on the manuscript: one wrote the text of Matthew, one who wrote the text of Romans, and two later correctors.[2]

The text of the codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type.

It was published by Rodolphe Kasser in 1962.[3]

The manuscript is currently housed at the

Bibliotheca Bodmeriana (P. Bodmer XIX) in Cologny along with other manuscripts from the Bodmer Papyri.[2]
