| Description | P.Bodm. XXII [P. Bodmer 22] [Mississippi Coptic Codex 2] Parchment codex containing Jeremiah, Lamentations, the Epistle of Jeremiah, and Baruch in Coptic (Sahidic). Description: P.Bodmer 22 is a portion of a parchment codex containing Jeremiah 40:3-52:34, Lamentations, Epistle of Jeremiah, and Baruch 1:1-5:5 in Sahidic. The other portion of the codex was purchased in 1955 for the University of Mississippi and was subsequently sold to the book dealer H.P. Kraus (Kraus 1983: 126-127). It is now a part of the Van Kampen Collection (Orlando, Florida, USA). The text of Lamentations is remarkable for the presence of the names of Hebrew letters written out at the beginnings of sentences. [Source: Bodmer Lab] |
