The following manuscripts were digitized by CSNTM at the Lambeth Palace Library in 2022. During this six-week expedition, our team digitally preserved more than two dozen Greek New Testament manuscripts, ensuring their worldwide accessibility for free, for all time.
As we continue adding manuscripts from this project, you can look forward to highlights of especially intriguing witnesses, including GA 98, as well as behind-the-scenes content from the expedition and the manuscripts’ journey from on-site examination to collections.csntm.org.
We invite you to explore these additions to our Digital Manuscript Collection, and stay tuned for more to come!
