| Description | P.Rainer Cent. 26; P.Schøyen I 18 (P.Schoyen I 18) Parchment fragment from a miniature codex containing Psalms 118:22-40. Fragment measures 13.5 x 8 cm (originally approx. 15 x 13 cm) and contains 26 lines of text written in a stichic arrangement in one column. The parchment is of fine quality, slightly translucent and with visible framing-lines. The flesh-side precedes the hair-side. The hand is described as a neat Biblical mauscule. The text was later reused as binding (see also P.Schøyen I 14). According to Römer, the editio princeps (P.Rainer Cent. 26) is preferrable to the reedition (P.Schøyen I 18) as concerns the line division and layout of the transcript; see Römer 2005: 339. |
