Ancient Civilizations42 Lost Pages of the Letters of St Paul Discovered Hidden on Codex Posted on May 19, 2026 by Administrator An international team of researchers led by the University of Glasgow has achieved a remarkable breakthrough in biblical scholarship, successfully recovering 42 lost pages from Codex H, one of the world’s most important early New Testament manuscripts. The 6th-century Greek codex, which contains the Letters of St Paul, had been disassembled at the Great Lavra Monastery on Mount Athos, Greece, in the 13th century, its pages repurposed as binding material for other manuscripts. Using cutting-edge multispectral imaging, the team has brought text unseen for centuries back into the light, offering a rare and profound window into early Christian intellectual life.
