"Re-inking the Pen: Evidence from P. Oxy. 657 (P13) concerning unintentional scribal errors"

By Peter M. Head, and M. Warren, New Testament Studies 43 (1997) 466-473. [ online]

Described by a nice lady I met once at a conference as the best article on the New Testament that she had ever read. I forget her name, she may have been an Italian papyrologist. Doubtless not very widely read in academic NT studies, but you have to take encouragements however they come to you. A land-mark study in scribal analysis, widely cited in the relevant scholarly studies since then. Credit to Mike Warren for his part in it (actually discovering the phenomena).
