I have now uploaded PDF’s of the text of Zephaniah as found in the Dead Sea Scrolls manuscripts: Wadi Murabba’at; Nahal Hever Greek Minor Prophets 8HevXIIgr; 4Q77b/4QXIIb; 4Q78c/4QXIIc; and 4Q82g/4QXIIg. That’s now 4 of the 12 Minor Prophets completed, all with comparisons against the accepted text of the Greek Septuagint and Masoretic Hebrew 
Wadi Murabba’at
Nahal Hever Greek Minor Prophets 8HevXIIgr
4Q77b/4QXIIb
4Q78c/4QXIIc
4Q82g/4QXIIg
(As a little funny aside, I was reading along in The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible as I was doing Zephaniah, and in their introduction to Zephaniah, the scholars who did the translation start off with “The four short chapters of Zephaniah are well attested in the scrolls…” The funny thing is, there’s actually only three chapters in Zephaniah, not four )

All of the Dead Sea Scrolls Scriptural manuscripts regarding the text of the book of Habakkuk should now be online on the Research Page in PDF form.
There is an extensive Pesher text on the Book of Habakkuk (probably the largest Pesher text on one of the Minor prophets found at Qumran) which I may put online in the future, although there is a translation of the actual text in the Pesher to be found in Geza Vermes The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls In English for people to read
Anyway, here are the direct links:
Wadi Murabba’at Habakkuk
4Q82g Habakkuk
Nahal Hever Greek Minor Prophets 8HevXIIgr Habakkuk

I just finished uploading the final “small” Ancient Greek Papyrus of the Renewed Covenant/New Testament writings. All 62 of them are available to download from the Ancient Papyrus webpage
I still have the “larger” ones to do (100+ pages for most of them): 
4, 5, 13, 40, 45, 46,
47, 66, 72, 75, and 115.
But as I said before, I’m now going to be concentrating on looking at the manuscripts found among the caves of Qumran (Dead Sea Scrolls), so check back here soon for some stuff regarding them

Bit of an early morning (well, for my time zone anyway) update to TWTY: The Greek Basis of the book of Yahuchanon, and a Transcription and Translation of Papyrus 64 (probably the oldest manuscript to contain text from the eyewitness account of MattithYah/Matthew – in this case the text of Matt 26:7-33).
This means I only have three more Greek Basis to complete: MattithYah, Lucus, and Acts. But as it happens, I’m very much in the mood for doing some more transcriptions and translations of all the oldest known Greek manuscripts of the Renewed Covenant books, so I shall be putting the Greek Basis on hold for the time being. Or knowing me, I’ll probably end up doing it in stages and letting you know when I’ve completed them all fully
Also, as the Dead Sea Scrolls Database was released for Logos Bible Software a couple of months ago (7th of March, to be exact), I have been itching to do a transcription and translation of all the Greek manuscripts that they found amidst the Dead Sea Scrolls, the most significant of which being named 8HevXII gr (which is technically from Nahal Hever, not Qumran), which contains quite a lot of the text of the 12 Minor prophets. I’d like to provide a full transcription and translation of it for this website, and thus allow others who don’t have money to cough up to Logos to be able to have a look at it
Anyway, that is my plan: hopefully I’ll be able to get it all done

A double-update for everyone today. Chapter 16 of Yahuchanon’s eye-witness account is up in online and PDF form, and I have also done the transcription and translation for Uncial 0189 – the oldest piece of parchment we have to contain verses from the Renewed Covenant writings
Give the links below a click to download the PDF!

Continuing on with the addition of the new section to TWTY yesterday, I have now done the same thing for Uncial 0162, which you can now find online in downloadable PDF form
It should be noted that the only place on the planet to get both a transcription and a translation of Uncial 0162 and Papyrus 1 is right here, on TWTY. You won’t find a translation of them anywhere else on the web, nor in print. And certainly not for free. You’ll find a transcription of their text, but not a translation, so this is another first for TWTY
