Coptic New Testament Fragments in the Brigham Young University Collection

Abstract

In this paper we examine the recently discovered Sahidic Coptic fragments of the New Testament in the BYU collection. These fragments are important for the transmission of the Sahidic Coptic New Testament since some of them date to the seventh or eighth century and represent relatively early attestations of the Coptic New Testament. Additionally, the fragments contain a few interesting textual variants that are of importance for considering the transmission of the New Testament in Coptic.
