Abstract

In 1995, in the journal "Analecta Bollandiana", P. van Minnen published a text preserved on papyrus from the collection of Duke University (Durham, North Carolina). This text is the earliest hagiographic evidence of the martyrs preserved in the Coptic language, and is of interest by this very fact. But no less interesting is the story of the wanderings of the papyrus R. Duke. inv. 438 in modern times.
