| Summary: | Despite the significant work carried out on the text, transmission, materiality, and scribal habits preserved in the Chester Beatty Biblical Papyri since their acquisition by Beatty ninety years ago in 1931, these early copies of Jewish scripture and the New Testament have, for the most part, belonged primarily to textual critics. The goal of this book is to resituate this important collection of manuscripts in broader contexts, examining their significance in conversation with papyrology as a discipline, in the context of other ancient literary traditions preserved on papyri, and in discussion with the intellectual and cultural history of collecting, colonialism, and scholarly rhetoric. The Chester Beatty Biblical Papyri, and other papyrological collection with which they are inextricably bound, remind us of the critical value of examining old manuscripts afresh in their historical, scholarly, and intellectual contexts. These studies are relevant for all scholars who work with manuscripts and ancient texts of any variety. "This book engages the Chester Beatty Biblical Papyri, one of the most important collections of early manuscripts of Jewish scripture and the New Testament, by placing them within larger conversations relating to ancient literature and its interpretation, papyrology, and the ethics of collecting and scholarship. Ninety years after Beatty acquired these manuscripts, their value for scholarship and culture remains largely unexplored"-- Trotz der umfangreichen Arbeit an Text, Überlieferung, Materialität und Schreibgewohnheiten der in den Chester Beatty Biblical Papyri erhaltenen Papyri seit ihrem Erwerb durch Beatty vor neunzig Jahren im Jahr 1931 gehörten diese frühen Kopien jüdischer Schriften und des Neuen Testaments größtenteils vorwiegend Textkritikern. Ziel dieses Buches ist es, diese wichtige Manuskriptsammlung in einen breiteren Kontext zu stellen und ihre Bedeutung im Hinblick auf die Papyrologie als Disziplin, im Kontext anderer auf Papyri erhaltener antiker literarischer Traditionen sowie im Hinblick auf die intellektuelle und kulturelle Geschichte des Sammelns, des Kolonialismus und der wissenschaftlichen Rhetorik zu untersuchen. Die Chester Beatty Biblical Papyri und andere papyrologische Sammlungen, mit denen sie untrennbar verbunden sind, erinnern uns an den entscheidenden Wert einer erneuten Untersuchung alter Manuskripte in ihrem historischen, wissenschaftlichen und intellektuellen Kontext. Diese Studien sind für alle Wissenschaftler relevant, die mit Manuskripten und antiken Texten jeglicher Art arbeiten. [Mit KI übersetzt] |
