Summary

Description
English: From the hoard known as the "Bodmer Papyri", consisting of 9 Greek papyrus scrolls, 22 papyrus codices and ca. 7 vellum codices in Greek and Coptic. These MSS are now mainly located in Bibliotheca Bodmeriana, Genève, and Chester Beatty Library, Dublin. They all belonged to the library of The Pachomian order, Faw Qibli (near Dishna), the world's first monastery and order. In the 7th c. the scrolls and codices from the library were hidden in a large jar during the Arabic conquest, and not found until 1952. MS 2337 supplies an important missing part of text 4. https://www.schoyencollection.com/bible-collection-foreword/coptic-bible/crosby-schoyen-codex-ms-193
