3 2 INTRODUCTION Before January 1956, the Utrecht University Library possessed only one small Coptic papyrus. This document was most probably bought from the Utrecht antiquarian bookseller Beyers in 1944, together with some Demotic and Greek papyri and two Latin manuscripts. 1 In a note pertaining to this acquisition, the then librarian, A. Hulshoff, only mentions five Egyptian papyri put on cardboard from the collection of E. Fischer at Freiburg, 2 which clearly refers to the Demotic and Greek papyri, 3 and not to the Coptic papyrus, which is mounted under glass. As appears from some appended letters (one dated 16 December 1909), Fischer in his turn had bought the papyri on cardboard from the estate of the German Egyptologist A.A. Eisenlohr ( ), who had found them in Egypt in the sixties of the 19th century. 4 Although Hulshoff did not explicitly mention the Coptic papyrus, it seems nevertheless most likely that it also came from the Fischer collection. Its earlier vicissitudes, however, remain obscure. All other Coptic manuscripts of the Utrecht University Library were acquired on 7 January 1956 from the estate of the German Coptologist Prof. Carl Schmidt ( ). 5 On behalf of Utrecht University, the collection was bought by Prof. Gilles Quispel ( ) from Mrs. Dr. G. Kunta-Schmidt, a niece of the famous German scholar. 6 How and when Quispel came into contact with Mrs. Kunta-Schmidt is not known, but it took more than a year before the bargain was closed. 7 Already in 1954 he received from her a microfilm 1 The Egyptian material is catalogued as Hs. 10 D 1, the Latin texts as Hs. 10 B 11 and 12. Digital images of the papyri and the letters by G. Korn, mentioned below, are available at 2 This note, dated 27 October 1944, is included in Hs. 10 B 11. It also mentions the price of the acquisition: 1,700 Dutch Florins. 3 For more information on these texts, see the Appendix on p These letters are now to be found in Hs. 10 D 1. They were written by G. Korn, who apparently acted as intermediary between Fischer and the Eisenlohr family. More items of Eisenlohr s private collection have been listed on the Trismegistos website, My colleague K.A. Worp, the papyrologist, to whom I owe this information, has tried to find out more about Fischer and Korn, but as yet without result. 5 See P. Nagel, Carl Schmidt, Neue Deutsche Biographie 33 (2007) ; Chr. Markschies, Carl Schmidt und kein Ende. Aus grosser Zeit der Koptologie an der Berliner Akademie und der Theologischen Fakultät der Universität, Zeitschrift für Antikes Christentum 13 (2009) 5-28; complete bibliography in P. Nagel, Bibliographie Carl Schmidt, Wissenschaftliche Zeitschrift der Universität Halle 37 (1988) Mrs. Kunta-Schmidt was a medical doctor, who also had some connection with Egypt; she published an article, The Ultrasonotherapy, in the Journal of the Egyptian Medical Association 34 (1951) The exact amount paid for the Schmidt Collection is unknown. According to the minutes of the meetings of the board of the Faculty of Theology, Quispel announced on 16 June 195 that the Board (Dutch: Curatorium) of the University was willing to make 10,000 or 12,000 Dutch Florins available for the acquisition of the library of the late Prof. Carl Schmidt, in Berlin (Utrechts Archief, Entry No. 1352, Inv. 9, p. 3/4). In fact, it was not

4 3 with photographs of the Coptic, Demotic and some Greek fragmentary manuscripts which had been in her uncle s possession. In the same year, Quispel consulted Paul E. Kahle Jr. ( ) about the significance of the Schmidt Collection: he received Kahle in his house for several days, discussed with him some items on the microfilm (and some philological problems of the Jung Codex [= Nag Hammadi Codex I] as well), and gave him the microfilm for further study in England. In two letters, dated 26 December 1954 and 3 February 1955, Kahle Jr. informed Quispel of his findings. 8 These letters testify once again of the intelligence, sound judgement and extensive knowledge of this young scholar, whose untimely death in 1955 was such a great loss to Coptic scholarship. 9 In his first letter, Kahle drew attention to three manuscripts of the collection. First, he pointed out that the collection contained some 10 papyrus fragments, some of these of fair size, written in Achmimic (!) 10 and containing Psalms. He had identified four Psalms: 9:5-8; 34:8-10; 70:3-5; 72:16-19 (the numbers 35.2; 35.3; 35.7; of the Catalogue). His final judgement, though necessarily based on his limited access to the material, proves to be correct: These fragments are really of first-rate importance. Unfortunately, only one side of the fragments has been photographed. Secondly, Kahle referred to two papyrus sheets containing Psalm 75:11-77:6 and Psalm 89:10-91:6 (No. 4 of the Catalogue) in the Sahidic dialect, which according to him were clearly of the very early fourth century and (...) the earliest witness of the Sahidic version. His third remark pertained to the papyrus manuscript with the Act of Andrew and the Story of Joseph and his brothers (No. 17 of the Catalogue), of which he described the preserved pages, followed by some remarks on the background of both texts. He emphasized the importance of the mansucript, which he dated without query in the fourth century (towards the end of the century) ; moreover, he added a transcription of the pages 10, 14 and 15 of the manuscript. In his second letter, he came back to the manuscript with the apocryphal texts on Andrew and Joseph, and concluded: This certainly is a very interesting manuscript of quite Schmidt s library that Quispel wanted to buy, but only the collection of manuscripts that Schmidt s niece offered for sale. On 27 January 1956, Dr. Quispel openly expresses his thanks to the Curatorium for having enabled him to buy the Schmidt collection in Berlin. The chairman proposes to send a letter of thanks to the Curatorium on behalf of all colleagues (ibidem, Inv. No. 10). 8 These letters are kept in the Utrecht University Library (Hs. 31 A 11, Nos. 1-6), together with Kahle s transcription and translation of the Act of Andrew mentioned below. 9 See M.L. Bierbrier, Kahle, Paul Eric, in The Coptic Encyclopedia 5 (1991) Much material relating to the scholarly activities of Paul E. Kahle Jr. is to be found in the archives of his father, Paul E. Kahle Sr., The Paul Kahle Fonds. The Scientific Archive of Paul Ernst Kahle ( ), which is kept at the University of Turin, Biblioteca di Orientalistica Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici; see 10 Since the script does not show the typically Akhmimic grapheme ⳉ, the language could be better described as Lycopolitan (formerly Subakhmimic); see p. 84 below.

5 4 exceptional importance and I think a fourth century date or at the latest an early fifth century date can be regarded as practically certain. Kahle added a complete transcription of the manuscript and a translation of the Act of Andrew, which became the basis of all later work on these texts. The second part of this letter was devoted to the manuscript with the anonymous homily On the Virgin Mary (No of the Catalogue). He pointed out that the passage on the phoenix in this homily joins up the well known Ryl. 72 with Wessely 270, and that folios of the latter part of the codex were to be found in Michigan and Paris (see the introductory remarks on No. 13). Kahle s positive judgement apparently settled the matter. The University Board authorized Quispel to buy the whole Schmidt Collection, including the Demotic and Greek fragments (see the Appendix to the Catalogue), although Kahle s advise about these had not been very positive. In his letter of 3 February 1955, he wrote: I asked Dr. Barns to have a look at the Greek and Egyptian fragments on the same film, but after a quick examination he said that with the exception of one of the Demotic papyri the rest of the Egyptian and Greek papyri were too small and fragmentary to be of much interest. As a matter of fact, the present collection contains only a few Greek texts, of which a magical papyrus (No. 36 of the Catalogue) is the most interesting. After the acquisition, no attempt was made to describe the collection. 11 Quispel was too deeply involved in the study and edition of Nag Hammadi Codex I to devote much time to the Utrecht Coptic manuscripts. The only text he was really interested in was the unknown fragment of the Acts of Andrew (No of the Catalogue), of which he published an English translation, with introduction and commentary, in December A German translation was published in Hennecke-Schneemelcher s Neutestamentliche Apokryphen (1964), based on a new transcription of the Coptic text by Jan Zandee ( ). 13 These translations formed the basis for an annotated Italian version made by M. Erbetta (1966) In April 1956, a small number of the newly acquired manuscripts was on display at the Theological Institute.The exhibition drew the attention of several Dutch newspapers, int. al. Algemeen Handelsblad, ( Tentoonstelling der papyri geopend ), although, here as in all other cases, the focus was almost exclusively on the speech that Prof. H.-Ch. Puech had given at the opening ceremony, about the importance of the recently found Coptic Gospel of Thomas. 12 G. Quispel, An Unknown Fragment of the Acts of Andrew (Pap. Copt.

6 5 In these publications, the papyrus was indicated as Pap. Copt. Utrecht, No. 1, which made the false impression of an existing catalogue. This indication was simply used because Quispel considered the Act of Andrew the most important text of the whole collection. Since the text had become known under this number and for lack of a better one, I maintained this reference in my edition of the Act of Andrew (1989), 15 on the basis of which Quispel made a new German translation. 16 Quispel and Zandee together published fragments of the Life of Eupraxia (1959; No. 18 of the Catalogue) and the Martyrdom of St. Pantoleon (1962; No. 19); 17 Zandee alone edited the fragments of the apocryphal Story of Joseph and his Brothers (1961; No. 17.2) and of the Encomium on St. Theodore the Anatolian (1983; No. 16). 18 In the latter study, Zandee introduced another and, at that time, more adequate method to refer to the location of the manuscript: the numbering of the glasses under which the most important texts had been mounted ( Koptisches Manuscript Utrecht 5 ). Besides those mentioned, there is only one other text of the Utrecht Coptic collection whose existence became known to the scholarly world. As a young student, I took up Quispel s suggestion to devote my master thesis (1958) to the edition, translation and explanation of the passage on the phoenix in the anonymous homily On the Virgin (No of the Catalogue), which in an updated version became a chapter in my doctoral dissertation (1972) Le Papyrus Copte Utrecht 1.

7 6 We do not know where and when Carl Schmidt bought the Coptic manuscripts that are now in the Utrecht University Library. But we do know that he acquired at least some of them between 1930 and his death on 7 April In a letter, dated 7 November 1956, Mrs. Elinor M. Husselman of the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 20 informed Prof. Quispel that the Museum possessed an envelope of photographs with the attached notation: Photographs of leaves offered 1930 to Peterson for purchase, but not bought by us. These photographs showed four manuscripts that are now in the Utrecht collection: 1. Psalm 9:28-10:4 (No. 2 of the Catalogue), 2. three folios containing part of the homily On the Virgin Mary, attributed to Theophilus of Alexandria (No. 13.2; later on, Mrs. Husselman sent photographs of the third folio of this manuscript, containing the pages 71 and 72, which is missing in the Utrecht collection, its present location being unknown), 3. two folios containing part of the Second Encomium on the Life of Claudius of Antioch, by Constantine of Lycopolis /Assiut (No. 15), and 4. one folio with the story of the Phoenix with the page numbers 41 and 42, which turned out to be part of the anonymous homily On the Virgin Mary (No. 13.1; later on, Mrs. Husselman sent photographs of these two pages). It may be assumed that all the Utrecht pages of the latter sermon were offered to Enoch Peterson, but that he only had photographs of pp. 41 and 42 made, because he knew that the content of the preceding pages was already known from Copt. Ms. Crawford 36 of the John Rylands Library, Manchester (see p. 39 below). The Coptic manuscripts of the Utrecht University Library are briefly enumerated in the Checklist which follows hereafter. The Catalogue presents a description and transcription of all fragments of the collection; texts, however, which have already been published are not transcribed again. Wherever possible, I have mentioned the sigla of the manuscript classification of the Corpus dei Manoscritti Copti Letterari (CMCL) and the text numbers of the Clavis Patrum Copticorum (CC = Clavis Coptica), which is included in the CMCL. 21 In the descriptions, the dimensions indicate the maximum heights and widths of the often very irregular fragments. I have refrained from dating the manuscripts, because our knowledge of Coptic palaeography is still too limited. In a few cases, it was possible to trace the modern vicissitudes of these manuscripts and the location of other parts of a given manuscript in other libraries. The structure of the catalogue is along the lines set out by 20 Kept in Hs. 31 A 12 of the Utrecht University Library, together with the photographs she sent at a later date. 21 See Based on a preliminary version of this catalogue, the director of CMCL, Tito Ortlandi, has integrated the Utrecht manuscripts into his data base.

10 9 I CHECKLIST OF THE UTRECHT COPTIC MANUSCRIPTS The Utrecht collection of Coptic manuscripts consists of thirty-six different items. The Coptic part of the Schmidt Collection is kept in five boxes; the earlier acquired documentary papyrus is placed elsewhere (No. 24 of the Catalogue). The boxes 1-4 contain twenty parchment and papyrus leaves, all mounted under glass and consecutively numbered, although not always in the right order. The fragments in box 5 are kept in 12 files, which often contain several pieces from different manuscripts. In box 3 there are two magical papyri (Nos. 23 and 36 of the Catalogue). The language of the first, Coptic or Greek, cannot be established with certainty; the second contains a Greek magical formulary, followed by a fragmentary Coptic text The original Schmidt Collection also included a great number of Demotic and some Greek papyri and one fragmentary Greek text on parchment, which are now stored in a sixth box (39 files; see the Appendix to the Catalogue on p. 111). In this checklist of the Utrecht Coptic Manuscripts, - the exact location of a fragment is indicated by its call number; B5.11.2, for instance, is Box 5, File 11, Fragment No the number between brackets after the call number refers to the number of the manuscript in the Catalogue. - The numbers between square brackets refer to the digital images of the manuscript. - the Psalms and their verses are numbered according to the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Bible.

19 18 Psalm 28:6-10 B5.4.1 Wrinkled, browned fragment of a parchment manuscript, which was pressed together with B Originally, these fragments were not part of the same page and perhaps even not of the same manuscript. The fragments were apparently written by different hands, since the scribe of B5.4.2 consistently put a dot within the letter ⲟ, which the scribe of B5.4.1 never did. The text of both fragments is written in one column, but in both cases only one side is partly readable, which makes it impossible to determine which side is the recto. The text of B5.4.2 could not be identified; for that reason, it has been placed in the group of unidentified texts (No. 26 of this catalogue). Size B5.4.1: h. 6.4 cm., w cm.

20 19 4 Psalm 75:11-77:6 and 89:10-91:6 B4.16 and B4.17 Two severely damaged and browned papyrus sheets; pagination illegible; text written on both sides in one column; often very difficult to read because of faded ink. B4.16 recto written across the payrus fibres, B4.17 recto along the papyrus fibres. B4.17 consists of two parts, B and 2, which together have preserved a good deal of the text. Sizes: B4.16: h cm., w cm.; B4.17.1: h cm., w cm.; B4.17.2: h. 8.5 cm., w. 8 cm. According to Paul Kahle Jr., these sheets were clearly of the very early fourth century and (...) the earliest witness of the Sahidic version (see above p. 3). In order to give an impression of the character of this text, the deviations from Budge s edition of the Book of Psalms have been recorded in the notes. 4.1 B4.16 Recto: Psalm 75:11-76:15 [dig. im. 32] Ps. 75:11 [ⲡ ϣ ]ⲱ ϫ ⲡ ⲡ ⲙ[ⲉ ⲉ ⲩ ⲉ ⲛⲁ ] ϣ ⲁ [ⲛ ⲁⲕ] 12 [ⲉ ⲣ ⲏ ⲧ ⲧ ]ⲉ ⲧ ⲧ ⲁ ⲁ ⲩ [ⲡ ] ⲉ ⲓ [ⲥ ] ⲡ [ⲛ ]ⲟ ⲩ [ⲟ ⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓ ⲙ] ⲉ ⲧ ⲡ ⲉϥ [ⲕ ⲱ]ⲧ ⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ [ⲱ ]ⲣ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲁ[ϥ ] 13 [ⲡ ⲉⲧ ϯ ϩ ⲟ ]ⲧ ⲉ ⲁ ⲩⲱ ⲉ ⲧ [ⲓ ] ⲛ ⲉ 36 ⲛⲛⲁⲣⲭ[ⲱⲛ ] [ⲡ ⲉⲧ ϯ ϩ ⲟ ]ⲧ ⲉ ⲛ ⲁ 37 [ⲛⲉ]ⲣ ⲱⲟⲩ ⲧ ⲏ ⲣⲟⲩ ⲙ [ⲡ ⲕ] Ps. 76:1 [ ⲉ ⲡ ϫ ]ⲱⲕ ⲉ ⲃ ⲟ ⲗ ⲁ ⲓ ⲇ ⲓ ⲑ ⲟ ⲩ ⲡⲉⲯ[ⲁ ⲗⲙⲟⲥ] 36 Budge, Psalter, 80: ⲡ ⲉⲡ (LXX πνεύµατα). 37 Budge, Psalter, 80: ⲛ ⲁϩ ⲣ.

(3 lines). 8.1 B (recto, written across the papyrus fibres) contains Zachariah 5:1-4; about 1/3 of page left blank. 80 The lost parts of the text have been added from G. Maspero, Fragments de la version thébaine de l Ancient Testament, Mémoires publiés par les membres de la Mission archéologique française au Caire 6/3 (1892) 269 (= Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Paris, Ms. Copte 129 (3) 209). I owe this reference to Alin Suciu, Hamburg. The distribution of the words per line is not completely certain.

32 B (verso, written along the papyrus fibres) once contained a text which covered the entire page but now has become virtually illegible (faded or deliberately removed). Partly readable is a note on Apa Sarapion and Dorotheos, which was written over the original text, in another hand than that of the recto.

36 35 Bible New Testament 10 1 Corinthians 1:21, and 30 B5.8.4 Fragment of parchment leaf. Size: h. 2.5 cm, w. 7 cm. The second column of the recto shows some illegible traces of a few first letters. Only the last letters of three lines of the first column of the verso have been preserved, which most probably belong to 1 Corinthians 1:27 and 28. It does not seem unlikely that this fragment and that of B5.5.1 (No. 11 below) came from the same manuscript.

40 39 Ⲃ5.6.2 Fragment of a small parchment leaf, on both sides written, in only one column. Verso almost illegible because of faded ink. Size: h. 5.7 cm., w. 8.1 cm.; written area: 6 cm., with 14 visible lines of characters. Since only a few lines are missing between the end of the recto and the beginning of the verso, the leaf must have been part of a rather small codex (see also Nos. 1 and 5 above).

The lost part of verse 5, however, cannot have been: ⲧ [ⲕ ⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲉ ⲩ ⲛ ⲓ ⲕ ⲏ ϯ ⲉ ⲗ ⲡ ⲓ ⲍ ⲉ ⲟⲛ ϫ ⲉ ⲥ ]ϩ ⲏⲧ, since that takes too much space. If the scribe mistakenly wrote ⲧ instead of ϯ, then the line could have been: ϯ ⲉ [ⲗ ⲡ ⲓ ⲍ ⲉ ⲟⲛ ϫ ⲉ ⲥ ].
