With the kind permission of Mr David Weston, keeper of the special collections at the University of Glasgow, a team from CSNTM came to Glasgow to photograph the University’s Greek New Testament manuscripts. The collection included P22, minuscules 560, 561, 562, and lectionaries 162, 239, 240, and 241. These manuscripts were photographed between 3 October and 14 October. CSNTM has been granted permission to post the images of these manuscripts on line, and this we will do, we hope, next month. Besides these eight manuscripts another was photographed: Ms Gen 229.

As is well known, the Institut für neutestamentliche Textforschung in Münster, Germany, is the gatekeeper for Greek NT MSS. The Institut’s former director, Kurt Aland, along with Michael Welte, Beate Köster, and Klaus Junack, produced ‘the Bible for Bibles,’ the Kurzgefasste Liste der griechischen Handschriften des Neuen Testaments, 2nd ed. (Berlin: de Gruyter, 1994). Sometimes known as the K-Liste, this is the standard tool that gives a fingerprint on all extant Greek NT MSS. Included in the data are the type of MS, contents, date, number of leaves, dimensions, material, columns, lines per column, and location.
