Description
Summary:This article presents evidence, above all paleographical, that209 (a school exercise containing Romans 1,1-7) and 210 (an unknown apocryphal gospel) were copied by the same scribe in fourth-century Oxyrhynchus. This discovery provides additional data about the circle of Aurelius Leonides, a flax merchant whom AnneMarie Luijendijk previously identified as the owner of the Romans fragment. The link between 209 and 210 also demonstrates the fluidity of Christian scribal and reading habits against which ecclesiastical writers like Athanasius were reacting.
