The Epistle of James in Vaticanus

I've previously posted links to images of the Epistle of James in Sinaiticus and Alexandrinus, along with a few papyri and the miniscule text, 676. I have now been able to get my hands on some black and white images of Vaticanus, taken from the 1999 edition produced by the Instituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato in Rome. Below is the breakdown of which verses of James are present in which column of each page. Links to the images of each page are found on the far left:

Page	Column I	Column II	Column III
1426	1:1-11	1:11-19	1:19-27
1427	1:27-2:8	2:8-18	2:18-3:1
1428	3:1-8	3:8-17	3:17-4:8
1429	4:8-16	4:16-5:8	5:8-16
1430	5:16-20

James in Papyri

I've stumbled upon a few papyri that contain James:

• P²⁰ P. Oxy. IX 1171 contains 2:26-3:9 (late 3rd c.; cat. I).
• P⁵⁴ P. Princeton II 15 contains 2:16-18, 22, 24-25, 3:2-4 (5th c.; cat. III).
• P¹⁰⁰ P. Oxy. LXV 4449 contains 3:13-4:4, 4:9-5:1 (late 3rd c.).

Update (16 Aug 06): Wieland Willker also lists the following fragment of James on his page, "The Original Sources":

• Text with James 1,10–11 Cologne (6th c.; front, back)

Also, see this article by Peter M. Head on several new papyri, including P¹⁰⁰ (listed above).

I posted earlier on the Epistle of James in Miniscule 676, as found on the CSNTM website. The same organization has recently posted images of the 4th c. majuscule text, Sinaiticus (as found in Kirsopp Lake's 1911 photograph facsimile). Here's the breakdown for James in Sinaiticus:

1:1-2:6	image 118b

13th c. Miniscule (676) of James at CSNTM

Plagued with insomnia, I figured out where the text of the Epistle of James was located in the 13th century miniscule text 676, as available at the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts site. The CSNTM site has a great selection of early manuscripts, and it will have much more in the future. In fact, they've recently added images of Sinaiticus. Here's the breakdown for James:

1:1-14a	image 324
1:14a-2:13a	image 325
2:13b-3:13	image 326
3:14-5:4a	image 327
5:4b-5:20	image 328
