Dear Perry,

It would be worth your looking at David Trobisch's work, the essence of
which is not hard to find on the www. In particular 'The First Edition of
the New Testament', and an article 'The Oldest Extant Editions of the
Letters of Paul'.

I think that Paul kept a collection of his own writings which, at the
stage he left it, would have included everything bar the pastorals. It was
the 'parchments' he asked Timothy to retrieve from Troas (1 Tim 4:13). If
I am right, then it is quite likely that others copied the whole
collection quite early, even while Paul was still alive.

Sincerely,

Kym Smith
