The Anonymous Gospel Manuscripts

[Cecelia]

I've done little study on the authorship of the Gospels, so I'm unable to say much on the subject.  But I did find this:

I think this answers very well the question "Where are the unattributed manuscripts?" 

Furthermore, it is not even clear that the Gospels’ abnormal titles were originally placed in the first manuscript copies. We do not have the autograph original text for any literary work from antiquity, but for the Gospels many of the earliest manuscripts that we possess have grammatical variations in their title conventions. This divergence in form among the earliest manuscripts suggests that there was no original manuscript or title upon which the later titles were based. As textual criticism expert Bart Ehrman points out in [/i] (pp. 249-250):

[i]“Because our surviving Greek manuscripts provide such a wide variety of (different) titles for the Gospels, textual scholars have long realized that their familiar names do not go back to a single ‘original’ title, but were added by later scribes.”[/i]

So, no.  We don't have the original manuscripts.  That doesn't mean that there weren't original manuscripts without the title or names attached.  There's a lot of written work that we don't have.  Movable type wasn't around for another nearly thousand years, and the printing press wasn't around until around 1440.
