The seven Manichaean papyrus codices of the fourth or fifth century
were discovered in illicit excavation in 1929 in the Egyptian
desert. They were acquired in about equal halves by A. Chester
Beatty for his library and by Carl Schmidt for the papyrus
collection of the Staatliche Museen of Berlin. Having had access to
the inventories, correspondence, and files in Berlin, Robinson
provides translations of the German and French documents to
increase access to information previously unavailable to the
scholarly community. He narrates the slow and problem-ridden path
of the acquisition, conservation, and editing of these important
works, including their movements between dealers, collectors,
scholars, and the military in Egypt, London, Dublin, Berlin,
Schondorf, Gottingen, Warsaw, Leningrad, Los Angeles, Claremont,
and Copenhagen.
