From pages to archetypes and codices

This part of the site introduces an investigation into the relationship between the section structure of an NT archetype and the pages on which it was written. Among the many findings are that certain of the New Testament books were published from the beginning on codices.
I have not yet succeeded in publishing the project's results, which involve lots of tables with numbers and Greek word stems. But the widespread implications of the project could make a significant contribution to New Testament studies.
