Default Vatican Library

The New Yorker for Jan 3 has an article on the Vatican Library. It is not available on line in full without a subscription, but there is a slideshow of 9 pictures here including "A page from the Papyrus Bodmer XIV-XV. Dating from between 180 and 220 A.D. and discovered in Egypt in 1952, the papyrus contains most of the Gospels according to Luke and John."

This is Papyrus 75 for anyone interested... acquired by the Vatican in 2007.

Good find, but chain of possession needs to be held, just like chain of evidence.

dated 175 CE, but unclear, how this date was determined.
two interesting points:
a. John starts on the same page that Luke ends;
b. text is remarkably similar to Vaticanus.....

Is there evidence to support the notion that P75 was definitely created 150 years before Vaticanus?
