TM Gallery info The Magdalen Papyrus (TM 61783) comes from Koptos in Egypt and preserves a few lines of the New Testament according to Matthew. Purchased in 1901, the fragments were donated to Magdalen College in Oxford, where they still are today. The papyrus is famous because Carsten Thiede dated it to the mid 1st century AD and published a book 'Eyewitness to Jesus' presenting the text. This thesis was not widely accepted and the scholarly consensus is now that the fragments date to the late 2nd century or even later.
