Document Summary

We read paul in many different translations. We read in english translators had a greek version of the bible where did they get the info for the greek nt: not septuagint greek translation of the hebrew ot ot. Other authors form ancient world tacitus (?) (historian) evidence is based on 1 manuscript (9th cent) and one (11th cent) yet we study him: can be divided into different categories. Papyrus earliest manuscripts; plant that grew in marshes of egypt; could be cut and put into a form used to write on; used up until 8th century. Parchment started to replace papyrus from the 4th century; treated animal skins prepared in such a way that you could write on them. Paper started to be used around 11th century and thereafter: distinguish between writing styles. Cursive/miniscule small letter style; around 9th century and on: difference between scroll/roll form and a codex (book form) form. Scroll could probably fit about one gospel.
