Many of you read my post entitled, "Scholars Find Treasure Trove of Medieval New Testament Manuscripts". At last, the site where these manuscripts were discovered can be revealed. The Dallas Morning News on Saturday, March 8, 2008, ran a story about the manuscript discoveries. Here's the link:

Also, Christianity Today's website is going to post more details; the story is scheduled to be posted on Monday, March 10.

What I can tell you is this: CSNTM went to Albania to photograph 13 NT manuscripts this past summer. When the team got there, they were surprised that the National Archive in Tirana had more than just the 13---far more. Altogether, 47 MSS were photographed (18,000 pictures), and at least 17 of the MSS were previously unknown to western scholars. More coming out in the CT article. Stay tuned.
