The Bodmer Papyri were nearly two dozen very early fragments of the Bible discovered in 1952.[1] These were preserved and uncovered in a monastery library in Upper Egypt, and then transferred first to Geneva and later to Dublin.[2] EWTN explains:
| “ | On this point, the testimony of the Bodmer Papyrus 14-15, written in the first years of the third century, is fundamental: it is the oldest manuscript extant that contains two Gospels [the Gospel of Luke and the Gospel of John]; this implies that after this period, as will be seen, the four Gospels were circulated together.[3] | ” |
