| Summary: | The British Library Fragments (Oeyen Fragments) are small pieces of an ancient papyrus codex. This codex contained, perhaps inter alia, a Subachmimic version of CG II,5; no other pieces of the codex have been found. Although the fragments have been known since 1905, it is to the great credit of Dr. Christian Oeyen to have first recognized (in 1972) their true identity and so to have established the significance of the fragments for scholarship. After his announcement of this important discovery,1 Dr. Oeyen was able to make further refinements in his work, and he kindly provided a copy of his improved text to Dr. Bethge; his new text was consulted in the preparation of the present, new edition. Dr. Oeyen's generosity and the cooperation of Mr. Peter Lawson, Head of Conservation, Department of Oriental Manuscripts and Printed Books, British Library, must be gratefully acknowledged |
