The Crosby-Schøyen Codex, the Length of kollēmata, and Dates of Codices.
The main takeaway is that the length of the individual papyrus sheets (the kollēmata) in the Crosby-Schøyen Codex may be evidence that it was written no earlier than the fourth century CE. That would fit with the likeliest range of C-14 dating. For more on this codex, which goes up for auction next month, see here and here.
Hugo Ibscher and the Cover of the Berlin Akhmimic Proverbs Codex
For me as a non-codicologist, the most interesting takeaway from Brent's posts on this codex (another was noted here) is the fact that we have a late-antique manuscript of an Akhmimic translation of Proverbs. It's good to know these things.
