Joseph Antley Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 For those interested, myself and a few others are working on preserving the ancient documents in the Harold B. Lee Library at BYU. I'll be documenting parts of the project, complete with pictures, on my blog. There are some cool pieces in the collection, including a papyrus manuscript of Didymus the Blind’s commentary on Psalms, a 2,000 year-old gold “plate,” a parchment from the Samaritan Pentateuch (Gen. 11-12) written in Samaritan script, and various fragments of the New Testament in Greek and Coptic.

The photos (on your blog) of your group doing the actual preservation work are very interesting. This must be fascinating work for you. Congratulations!
