15th Anniversary of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts

CSNTM

Dan Wallace: In CSNTM’s first 15 years, we have worked at more than forty locations throughout the world, digitizing more than half a million pages of the Greek NT and discovering upwards of 90 manuscripts. As we look to the future, our sights are set on libraries in Greece, Italy, Eastern Europe, former Soviet bloc countries, and the Middle East.

The task of digitizing the manuscripts in Greece alone is enormous. There are literally thousands of manuscripts scattered among the 20+ monasteries on the Mount Athos peninsula, a place accessible by boat and where women are not allowed to visit.

Another hard to get to place is St. Petersburg, Russia where there is a huge collection of Greek NT manuscripts and no doubt many that are not cataloged. If only CSNTM could get permission to access this collection.
