John 1:1 — Early Greek manuscript witnesses

A reusable research record with provenance and relationships kept separate from the presentation layer.

MANUSCRIPT_EVIDENCEMS_JHN_1_1_EARLY_WITNESSES

Evidence state: documented fact

Institution-level records for early Greek manuscript witnesses relevant to John 1:1. A record is not treated as a local transcription unless Berean Archive has separately verified and licensed that transcription.

Scope boundary: Direct-witness status means the cited institutional source explicitly maps surviving manuscript material to John 1:1. It does not imply that Berean Archive has independently transcribed the image, nor does manuscript age by itself decide a textual variant.
