Summer placement. Second-year student Ed Bullock has just completed a work experience project with the Genizah research unit in Cambridge. They worked there for 3 weeks in July, writing descriptions of fragments for a digital archive. Ed's activities included checking articles to identify given fragments and performing material analysis such as measuring the fragments, identifying the writing materials, etc. Ed also spent the first week comparing the spelling of two Bible manuscripts (one a scroll and one a codex) to the accepted text of the Ben Asher tradition, locating interesting material for further analysis.
