new MSS in Tirana, Albania

Dan Wallace's team has digged out quite a few new MSS in Tirana, Albania.
He writes:

"We were informed by the National Archive that there were 13 manuscripts to shoot. But by the end of the first day, the news shot back across the Atlantic: there were more than thirteen Greek New Testament manuscripts in Tirana—far more. Altogether, there were 47 manuscripts!"

"What surprised us most was that three of the manuscripts completely lacked the story of the woman caught in adultery. Another had the story at the end of the Gospel."

"As we investigated these manuscripts more, we discovered that one or two of them may be long-lost members of an important family of manuscripts known as family 13. In fact, they may be the earliest members of that family."

"Many manuscripts are in Eastern Europe or the Middle East. We currently have leads on over 200 [other] manuscripts. My best guess is that there are as many as another 1000 Greek New Testament manuscripts yet to be discovered."
