(Oxyrhynchus was the Greek name of an ancient Egyptian tow...)
Oxyrhynchus was the Greek name of an ancient Egyptian town when Rome ruled over the region. The site was thoroughly Hellenistic; that is, those who lived there were deeply influenced by Greek language and culture. Between 1896 and 1906, the ruins of Oxyrhynchus were excavated. The result was the greatest collection of papyri unearthed at a single location—the Oxyrhynchus Papyri. The papyri they found were of all sizes, some written by skilled scribes, others from semi-literate to utterly incomprehensible scrawls. They date from the first millennium of the Common Era, and a number of biblical fragments are counted among the findings. The papyri were excavated by two young classical scholars of Queen's College, Oxford—B. P. Grenfell and A. S. Hunt—who sorted and cataloged the collection. Included in it was a unique work called the "Sayings of Jesus" in seven fragments, each introduced with the phrase "Jesus says." They appear to be from the Gospel of Thomas and date from no later than 250 C.E. Grenfell and Hunt published two brief treatises on the Sayings; the latter, more expanded treatment of the two is presented here. The discoverers introduce the fragments with a Greek text, translation, and notes, as well as an account of their 1897 discovery. Each saying is analyzed in detail followed by general remarks about the collection as a whole. It is fascinating to read their conclusions prior to the discovery of the Gospel of Thomas, fifty years later. Since these fragments were uncovered, dozens of scholars had supplied articles and books about them. Grenfell and Hunt summarize these findings. They appended to this discovery another "lost" gospel fragment discovered in eight fragments. It represents a form of the gospel more closely related to the Synoptic type. The narrator speaks in the third person and presents a somewhat abbreviated form of the canonical accounts. These two works further demonstrate the number of traditions that circulated about Jesus during the early years of Christianity.
