Despite the significant work carried out on the text, transmission,
materiality, and scribal habits preserved in the Chester Beatty
Biblical Papyri since their acquisition by Beatty ninety years ago
in 1931, these early copies of Jewish scripture and the New
Testament have, for the most part, belonged primarily to textual
critics. The goal of this book is to resituate this important
collection of manuscripts in broader contexts, examining their
significance in conversation with papyrology as a discipline, in
the context of other ancient literary traditions preserved on
papyri, and in discussion with the intellectual and cultural
history of collecting, colonialism, and scholarly rhetoric. The
Chester Beatty Biblical Papyri, and other papyrological collection
with which they are inextricably bound, remind us of the critical
value of examining old manuscripts afresh in their historical,
scholarly, and intellectual contexts. These studies are relevant
for all scholars who work with manuscripts and ancient texts of any
variety.
