(#31) Compendium of early medieval Christian writers, including Gregory the Great, Dialogi, and Gennadius of Marseilles, De ecclesiasticis dogmatibus, in Latin, decorated manuscript on vellum [north-eastern France (perhaps Lorraine or Alsace), eleventh century]

This papyrus scroll is written in the Greek language and mentions a list of farmers; the number and size of land given to them were mentioned. In addition, the list also included fishermen, flute players, threshers, millers, sheep breeders, shepherds, and fruit merchants. From Theadelphia (Arsinoites; Batn el-Harit), Faiyum, Egypt. Roman Period of Egypt, 196-198 CE. It is on display at the Neues Museum in Berlin, Germany.

Still trying to wrap my head around this manuscript… It seems to be reflections on Biblical texts in Hungarian, probably from the late 18th or early 19th century, but sometimes there’s just not enough information. And I find that hard to make peace with… #manuscript #biblescripture #bibliophile #antiquebooks #biblical #rarebooks #antiquebook #sigedon #livrerare
