belongingtoanothertime: Mani CodexWritten in Greek5th century ADFind Location: Lycopolis, EgyptCurrent Location: Cologne COLOGNE MANI CODEX (Codex Manichaicus Coloniensis), a lump of parchment fragments the size of a matchbox, containing a portion of the life and teachings of Mani, discovered in 1969 at an indeterminate spot in the area of Asyūṭ (ancient Lycopolis) in upper Egypt (Koenen, 1973, pp. 240-41), the smallest ancient codex known to date. In the same year it came into the possession of the Institut für Altertumskunde at the university in Cologne. The seemingly hopeless task of restoring the codex was successfully completed a few months later by A. Fackelmann in Vienna. What emerged was the earliest extant original Manichean work written in Greek (see Henrichs, 1979a, pp. 342-51). The restored work comprises fragments of ninety-six leaves from one codex, measuring 4.5 x 3.8 cm, and a few other, even smaller fragments. The original number of leaves in the manuscript can no longer be determined, as the first and last pages are missing. Each page contains a single column of text, usually twenty-three lines long, written in a minute but clearly legible script. Source: Encyclopaedia Iranica

malformalady: A 7m long wasps nest has reportedly been discovered in an abandoned house in Spain. Officers were called to the property in San Sebastian de La Gomera(Canary Islands, Spain), after a series of calls from concerned neighbours. Police sealed off the home when the found the 22ft nest, which is said to have almost filled a room, and millions of wasps in the house. Experts believe that the nest was built by an African species of wasp which had migrated to the region.
