| Summary: | The present article offers theof two parchment leaves written in the early Bohairic () dialect of the Coptic language and comprising verses 7:10b-8:7a of the Epistle to the Hebrews. The manuscript is our sole witness to the text of the original Bohairic translation (viz., the Paleo-Bohairic version, pbo) of Hebrews, which has been hitherto known only in its revised form (viz., the Bohairic version, bo), in Medieval Bohairic (dialect). In the introduction, I discuss the acquisition history, page layout, paleography, language, text-critical value, and, finally, the date and provenance of the manuscript. The introduction is followed by a transcription of the Coptic text and an English translation thereof. |
