A fact from Bodmer Papyri appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 1 March 2007. The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that the 22 Bodmer Papyri from a fifth-century Egyptian monastic library near Nag Hammadi contain three plays by Menander and fragments of the Iliad, as well as early versions of the Gospel of Luke and Gospel of John? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/March.

Interesting article. Is it possible to generalize about the date of writing or deposit? Johnbod 16:23, 1 March 2007 (UTC) ThanksJohnbod[reply]

I am removing the reference that said Pope Benedict gave part of it to CUA when he visited in April 2008. Although the press release that was cited did indicate that the gift had been a part of the original, subsequent materials sent to alumni indicate that the gift was a reproduction. That either (1) disproves or (2) casts sufficient doubt upon the University's prior press release, so I am removing the information. theloavesandthevicious (talk) 14:49, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
