A document like this, where one layer of text hides the erased remains of another, is called a palimpsest. But thanks to the scarcity of parchment a couple of hundred years later in the region, that parchment was reused, mostly erasing the original translation of the Biblical New Testament. The long-hidden chapter-an interpretation of Matthew chapter 12-was originally translated as part of what are known as the Old Syriac translations about 1,500 years ago. The new find represents one of the earliest translations of the Gospels. All 66 books of the Bible are uncovered and searched with Biblical Archeology, Expository Teaching and Creation Science segments. All he needed was ultraviolet photography equipment and plenty of research know-how.Īnnouncing the discovery in a paper published in the journal New Testament Studies, medievalist Grigory Kessel of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW or Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften) found the hidden chapter underneath three layers of text-dubbed a double palimpsest-thanks to ultraviolet photography. Co-hosted by Rod and Janice Hembree, Quick Study Bible Discovery explores the world’s oldest book, the Bible, by going through all of its pages in one year.
