Cf. my discussion of thepapyrus in the Theologisohe Literaturzeitung, 26 (1901) col. 71 f. Aftera long study of early Christian amulets, I now prefer the theory that thepapyrus served as an amulet for the Aurelius Paulus who is named ina cursive hand beneath the text from Bomans, The folds also favour thisexplanation, Cf. the fine observations of TJlrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff, Diegrieohische Literatur des Altertums, Die KvXtwr der Gegenwart, Teil 8, 2 Auflage, Berlin und Leipzig, 1907, p. 159 f., and of JohannesWeiss in the GegenwartsMbel, II. 1, pp. 1 ILLUSTRATED BY THE NEW TEXTS Christendom. Later still they became sacred litera-ture, when they were received among the books ofthe New Testament then in process of formation ;and in this position their literary influence has beenimmeasurable. But all these subsequent experiencescannot change the original character of Pauls , whose yearning and ardent hope expected theLord, and with Him the Judgment and the worldto come—Paul, who reckoned the future of thisworld not by centuries and millenniums but by years,had no presentiment of the providence that watchedover the fate of his letters in the worlds wrote with absolute abandon, more so thanAugustine in his Confessions, more than the othergreat teachers^ in their letters, which not in%;quentlyare calculated for publication as well as for theimmediate recipient. This abandon constitutes the chief value
