"The Papyrus of Ezekiel: The History of the P967 Codex." Exhibition at the National Library of Spain, Madrid, until November 1, 2025.https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12111/10743The exhibition, titled "The Papyrus of Ezekiel: The history of the P967 codex" invites visitors to view both original pages of the papyrus and digital recreations of the text in a journey that traverses both centuries and civilizations. Visit the virtual exhibition at: https:/www.bne.es/es/visitanos/visitas-virtuales/papiro-ezequiel/visita.html Ezekiel’s Papyrus, believed to date back to the third century C.E., was discovered in the Necropolis of Mir in Egypt in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. It originally held 236 pages of the biblical texts of Ezekiel, Daniel, and Esther translated into Greek. In collaboration with the Friends of the National Library of Spain Foundation, the displayed manuscript, provided by the Pastor Foundation of Classical Studies, includes ten sheets of the original papyrus, five of which will be displayed during the first three months of the exhibition, and the other five during the final months. As a foundational manuscript of the Old Testament, such sheets are evidence of a technological innovation made during the time of its writing—the transition from rolls of papyrus to folded and bound codices—a development highlighted in the exhibition. While all 200 existing pages of Ezekiel’s Papyrus cannot be physically brought together due to the history of distribution and dispersal, the exhibition reunites the distant pages through a virtual display, showing all parts of the document, currently housed at the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin, Princeton University, the University of Cologne in Germany, and the Abbey of Montserrat in Barcelona.
