Comment: This discovery is currently in the news, as it was announced just two days ago. I considered nominating it for WP:ITN, but I think it suites DYK better. Without the qualifier "from Germany" (in main hook and ALT4), readers may assume this to be about the more well known Herculaneum papyri, which were featured in DYK 13 years ago (25 August 2011).

Comment The article by Huld-Zetsche [1] isn't available online (all the other references are). This is actually the exact same source used to create this map. Renerpho (talk) 10:19, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: Fascinating piece of archaeology. Hook facts are interesting and cited. Article is new enough and long enough, neutral. Earwig does not show any concerns, though AGF on German references. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:15, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review, Chris! To the user who promotes to the queue: I don't have strong preferences for one hook over the others; whatever best fits for the day. :) Renerpho (talk) 23:33, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Context of early Bible translations

I am looking for reliable sources that talk specifically about the Latin translation of Philippians 2:10–11 (QVONIAM IHS XR OMNES(T) GENVA FLECTENT CAELESTES TERRESTRES ET INFERI ET OMNIS LINGVA CONFITEATVR, vs. the later Vulgate translation ut in nomine Iesu omne genu flectatur caelestium et terrestrium et infernorum, et omnis lingua confiteatur). This seems significant in the context of early Latin translations of the Bible. Isn't this one of the earliest known fragments of the New Testament in Latin? If anyone finds sources that discuss this, please comment.

Our article about Vetus Latina states that Vetus Latina ("Old Latin" in Latin) [...] is the collective name given to the Latin translations of biblical texts (both Old Testament and New Testament) that preceded the Vulgate (the Latin translation produced by Jerome in the late 4th century). [...] The Vetus Latina manuscripts that are preserved today are dated from AD 350 to the 13th century. (my emphasis) Renerpho (talk) 10:27, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
