Talk:Papyrus Rylands 458

Codex Cottonianus
At present we have "The text of the manuscript agrees more with the Codex Cottonianus than with the Codex Vaticanus". How can a fragment of the Book of Deuteronomy (Papyrus Rylands 458) agree with Codex Cottonianus which only consists of a manuscript of the Book of Genesis?

 * Well spotted, and very telling that for 9 years nobody took care of that. That was simply taken from by someone who obviously misinterpreted (carelessly and thoughtlessly) the Θ there which refers to the Washington Manuscript I, that is WI according to Rahlfs. This edit remains unclear to me. --Qumranhöhle (talk) 22:58, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Pietersma
That: Albert Pietersma since 1984 has asserted that the evidence from this manuscript (MSS) has been overemphasized, "not because it is relevant to our discussion, but because it has been forcibly introduced into the discussion, in part, one surmises, because it is the oldest extant LXX MSS". does not make any sense. The quotation as such is correct, but the way the sentence is built has no logic. --Qumranhöhle (talk) 22:44, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
