‘I’d like you to draw a lion to decorate this border. Not an angry lion, though, a nice friendly one.’

This tiny piece of papyrus is the earliest biblical fragment held in the Bodleian. It is more than 1,800 years old, just after 150AD. It contains a fragment of the Acts of the Apostles, and is considered one of the earliest witnesses to the original text of the New Testament.

It is a modern myth that people in the Middle Ages thought the Earth was flat. 'The Book of Curiosities', from 11th century Egypt (MS. Arab. c. 90), gives an account on the correction on the circumference of the Earth, and talks about the then known inhabited lands.

Have you remembered to tax your vehicle?
Here is a reminder from 1880 years ago:
Tesenuphios taxed his camels - he paid fines for delay. This is his tax disc @bodleianlibs
