List of New Testament papyri

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Verso of papyrus 37

The New Testament papyri are mostly early and often badly damaged manuscripts of the New Testament, including the earliest known text witnesses. Most of these manuscripts did not become known until the 20th century and soon assumed a particularly important position in New Testament textual criticism . In ancient times, papyrus was an inexpensive and widespread writing material, but it is sensitive to moisture and wear and tear, so that comparatively few fragments have survived. Most of the papyri were created between the 2nd and 7th centuries. After this time papyrus was hardly used any more. In 2012 a total of 127 papyri with Greek texts of the New Testament were known.

This group of New Testament papyri was first introduced by Caspar René Gregory , who marked the papyrus texts with the seal in broken letters , followed by a superscript number. Before 1900 only 9 papyri were known, of which only 11 were used by Constantin von Tischendorf in the text-critical apparatus . These 9 papyri are only individual fragments, with the exception of 15 , which consists of a single complete sheet.

The discoveries of the twentieth century brought to light the oldest known New Testament manuscripts. Kenyon already knew 14 papyri in 1912, Aland et al. counted 76 papyri in the first edition of the Brief List in 1963 , 96 papyri were known in 1989 and 127 in 2012.
