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. #flatEarth

More attempts to get my Rossi blogposts deleted have been fruitless; Google has reinstated all of them. When I have time I'll be putting the blogposts on my own webspace and ensuring that they are archived and indexed, so that they can be read in perpetuity. #ReceptioGate
