History

1923: the Library acquired a collection of MSS (known collectively as MS. 541) from the Revd Canon Sir Edwyn Clement Hoskyns, Librarian and Fellow of Corpus Christi College, who purchased them in Egypt in 1916 (1915 according to Hunt JEA 12 : 113; 1916 according to Munier 1920 : 225 n. 1).

Papyrus collection: Greek: c. 40; Coptic: 32; Arabic: 1? Date: from at least 1st c. CE to 8th c. Place of origin: some MSS are labelled as ‘Fayum’, ‘Oxyrhynchus’, ‘Achmim’. The Dioskoros fragments originate from Aphrodito. Other possible provenances: Dronkah; White Monastery? Literary: 29 Coptic? Greek 1. Non-literary: Greek 39; Coptic 3; Arabic 1? Some of the Coptic literary texts have been edited but none of the documentary.
