Jim told us about this on Tuesday:

"In the Beginning-Bibles Before the Year 1000"

He attended the SBL's annual meeting in D. C. two weekends ago (11/18 - 11/21) and toured the exhibit, I guess.

I don't have a hope of getting there before the exhibit closes in January.

Jim said that someone tried to make the case that the "Codex Washingtonensis" is first-century instead of fourth or fifth-century but most were not convinced.

That would be something if it were true.

Just the fact that the document is in codex form precludes it being first-century, doesn't it?
