Oriental 7594 </Td> <Td> Coptic </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 3rd or 4th century CE </Td> </Tr> <P> The New Testament has been preserved in more manuscripts than any other ancient work, having over 5,800 complete or fragmented Greek manuscripts, 10,000 Latin manuscripts and 9,300 manuscripts in various other ancient languages including Syriac, Slavic, Gothic, Ethiopic, Coptic and Armenian . The dates of these manuscripts range from c. 125 (the P (\ displaystyle (\ mathfrak (P))) papyrus, oldest copy of John fragments) to the introduction of printing in Germany in the 15th century . </P> <P> The difficulty is in the origin of manuscripts . Often, especially in monasteries, a manuscript cache is little more than a former manuscript recycling centre, where imperfect and incomplete copies of manuscripts were stored while the monastery or scriptorium decided what to do with them . There were several options . The first was to simply "wash" the manuscript and reuse it . That was very common in the ancient world and even up into the Middle Ages; such reused manuscripts were called palimpsests . The most famous palimpsest is probably the Archimedes Palimpsest . If that was not done within a short period of time after the papyri was made, then washing it was less likely since the papyri might deteriorate and thus be unusable . When washing was no longer an option, the second choice was burning: since they contained the words of Christ, they were thought to have had a level of sanctity; burning them was considered more reverent than simply throwing them into a garbage pit, which occasionally happened, as in the case of Oxyrhynchus 840). The third option was simply to leave them in what has become known as a manuscript gravesite . When scholars come across manuscript caches, like at Saint Catherine's Monastery in the Sinai (the source of the Codex Sinaiticus), or Saint Sabbas Monastery outside Bethlehem, they are finding not libraries but storehouses of rejected texts (sometimes kept in boxes or back shelves in libraries due to space constraints). The texts were unacceptable because of their scribal errors and contain corrections inside the lines possibly evidence that monastery scribes were comparing them to what must have been a master text . In addition, texts thought to be complete and correct but had deteriorated for heavy usage or had missing folios would also be placed in the caches . Once in a cache, insects and humidity would often contribute to the continued deterioration of the documents . </P>
