A Study Day with Presentations on Codex Zacynthius: Retracing the Words of Scribes and Early Christian Writers

Centre for the Study of the Bible in the Humanities

The seminar is currently full. To be placed on a waiting list, please email itsee@contacts.bham.ac.uk

<p>Codex Zacynthius, the oldest copy of the New Testament to be accompanied by a commentary, was rubbed out and written over in the Byzantine period. Using new imaging techniques, it has been possible to restore much of the original content (part of Luke’s Gospel along with many excerpts from early Christian writers) in order to produce a complete electronic transcription which will be accompanied by studies of the manuscript. In this seminar, kindly sponsored by the Centre for the Study of the Bible in the Humanities at Oxford and the AHRC, members of the project will report on the findings of the project so far and consult with a range of potential users regarding the features of the planned digital edition and the interpretation of the manuscript, along with its significance for biblical and early Christian studies. </p>
