Codex Schøyen 2650: A Middle Egyptian Coptic Witness to the Early Greek Text of Matthew's Gospel - A Study in Translation Theory, Indigenous Coptic, and New Testament Textual Criticism

James M. Leonard analyzes the very important early Coptic manuscript of Matthew's Gospel, Codex Schøyen. Through a careful translational analysis, he shows how its close alliance with Vaticanus and Sinaiticus helps identify an earlier text form which they mutually reflect.
