Codex H was disassembled in the Megisti Lavra monastery on Mount Athos sometime between the tenth and thirteenth centuries and used as binding material and flyleaves in multiple other medieval manuscripts produced and restored there. Codex H's surviving folios are now held in Paris, Torino, Kyiv, Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and the Megisti Lavra. Its story highlights the ethical complexities inherent in scholarship on the New Testament's manuscripts, especially as it relates to digital tools and emerging forms of restorative textual scholarship. In order to begin to reconstruct Codex H before it was disassembled, we first work to understand its post-production life, tracing the paths its pages took in reverse chronological order, from their current holding institutions to Mount Athos. We argue that the story of Codex H is important because it helps us to understand the ways late ancient copies traversed time and space to their current forms as we encounter them today, offering new ways to think about the most primary sources of New Testament scholarship. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Biblical Literature is the property of Society of Biblical Literature and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
