OLDEST PAPYRUS MANUSCRIPT DECODED

Jesus text
(Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg)

Researchers in Germany have decoded what they say is the oldest-
ever manuscript detailing
Jesus Christ’s life as a child.

The papyrus manuscript dates back more than 1,600 years old to
the 4th or 5th century. The document had been stored at a library
in Hamburg, Germany, as no one believed the document was of
any significance.

"The fragment is of extraordinary interest for research," Lajos
Berkes, a professor and one of the researchers who decoded the document said in a press release. "On the one hand, because we
were able to date it to the 4th to 5th century, making it the earliest
known copy.

On the other hand, because we were able to gain new insights 
into the transmission of the text."
