The provenance of P.Chester Beatty XIII and XIV is unknown according to the records of the Chester Beatty Library. Though all five leaves hear the same accession number (1501) and have been entered as Papyrus Codex. ) leaves of a papyrus codex of Psalms, the single folio does not in fact belong to the same manuscript as the four bifolios. The two hands, while of approximately the same period, are quite distinct. Other characteristics as well mark the folio as being unrelated to the four bifolios. Of further interest is the remainder of the entry: Found in a box of miscellaneous fragments of papyri, Summer 1957. Mounted at British Museum and returned to Library, August, 1958 - all of which means, that the two manuscripts in question were not part of the same acquisition as the Chester Beatty Biblical Papyri from Aphroditopolis edited by F.G.Kenyon. P .Chester Beatty XIV, numbered 2149 by Septuaginta-Unternehmen, contains Psalms 72:6-23,25-76:1; 77:1-18,20-81:7; 82:2-84:14;85:2-88:2.

The United Nations Educational and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) entrusted author James Robinson with tracking down the place where the Nag Hammadi Codices had been discovered. Priests whom the author interviewed in the region told Robinson that the codices had once been in the possession of a priest in the town of Dishna, a bit further upstream than Nag Hammadi itself. Robinson found that this priest had not had the Nag Hammadi Codices but rather the Bodmer Papyri. For Dishna is where the monastery headquarters of the first monastic order was located. The Bodmer Papyri discovery consisted of all that was left of the library of the Pachomian monastic order: Coptic letters of Pachomius and very early Greek copies of Luke and John, perhaps donated when Athanasius was in hiding at the monastery. These treasures were preserved in a jar hidden in the mountain where monks were buried. This book traces the story of the Bodmer Papyri from beginning to end.
