| Summary: | The Wyman Fragment, or 0220, has been a chief and early witness to the text of Romans 4.23-5.3 since the initial publication of the recto in 1952. A 2005 edition of the verso, containing Rom 5.8-13, rendered most of that portion of the manuscript legible for the first time, but has not been widely circulated. In this article I present a new edition and analysis of 0220, a third- or fourth-century manuscript of Rom 4.23-5.13, in light of multispectral imaging and radiocarbon testing performed on the fragment. This edition resolves tensions between previous editions, contextualises the radiocarbon and palaeographic dates, transcribes previously illegible traces, securing additional lines of text, and reveals more work by a second hand than previously noted. |
