Colleagues,

In Theology we are constantly told that we must deal directly with the
sources themselves.  In text criticism this is particularly important.
Yet, if the manuscripts are not widely available, how can we do our own
collations?  Is there a collection of photographs of the papyri available?
The Uncials?  If not, then, again, how can we do independent research in
this exceedingly important field; and why can't such a collection be
produced (as has been done for the vast majority of the Dead Sea Scrolls)?

Just some questions I hope someone can answer.


Yours,

Jim West
Petros TN
