The Bodmer Papyri were nearly two dozen very early fragments of the Bible discovered in 1952.^[1] These were preserved and uncovered in a monastery library in Upper Egypt, and then transferred first to Geneva and later to Dublin.^[2]

EWTN explains:

“

On this point, the testimony of the Bodmer Papyrus 14-15, written in the first years of the third century, is fundamental: it is the oldest manuscript extant that contains two Gospels [the Gospel of Luke and the Gospel of John]; this implies that after this period, as will be seen, the four Gospels were circulated together.[3]
