Editing Chester Beatty Library (section)

===Western Collections===
The Western Collection houses many illuminated manuscripts, rare books and Old Master prints and drawings. With biblical texts written in Armenian, Church Slavonic, Coptic, Ge’ez, Greek, Latin and Syriac, the collection's Christian material comes from diverse cultural and geographical backgrounds. The papyrus codices in the Chester Beatty include [[Papyrus 45]] and [[Papyrus 46]] among others which are some of the earliest surviving Christian artefacts in the world. In addition, a significant proportion of the rare printed books and prints are also Christian in focus.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://chesterbeatty.ie/explore/christianity/|title=Christianity {{!}} Explore the Collections|website=Chester Beatty|language=en|access-date=2020-03-25}}</ref> The collection of papyri is one of the most extensive in the world and includes almost the entire corpus of Ancient Egyptian Love Songs.
