Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Uncial 058” is manuscript. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Uncial and manuscript, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA useful identification and reception guide that helps separate the work itself from editions, performances, ownership and later interpretation. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1900, 1887—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. For this dossier, Uncial and manuscript is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “manuscript” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q289750. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1900 and 1887.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
