![]() I just learned that there is a facsimile edition (or perhaps replica is a better designation) of P.Bodmer VIII, part of a famous (and somewhat mysterious) codex containing the texts of 1-2 Peter, among other things. The facsimile is crafted by a Spanish company, and it comes in a nice wooden case along with an introductory booklet containing a "Traducción y Transcripción" (translation and transcription). According to the website at the link above, it sells for a steep €806 ($1,113). The images look nice. Does anyone know anything about this facsimile? I would love to know what the quality is like and if the material is papyrus. For $1,113, it better look just like the original! This is a great way for libraries or departments to facilitate learning of ancient Greek manuscripts.

Hi Brice, just found your blog. Great stuff. We have one of these facsimiles at Fordham. Ours was a Papal gift to Avery Dulles when he became a Cardinal. (And Dulles's archives were bequeathed to Fordham.) It's a great teaching tool.
