Papyrus 39 (named after Gregory-Aland with Sigel 39 ) is an early Greek copy of the New Testament . This papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of John consists only of verses 8: 14-22. It was dated to the 3rd century by means of paleography . It was made by a professional scribe with 25 lines per page in big beautiful letters. The pages are numbered.
The Greek text of the Codex represents the Alexandrian text type (or rather a proto-Alexandrian text type). Kurt Aland placed it in Category I a. 39 shows correspondences with the Codex Vaticanus and 75 . It does not contain any unique readings.
Handed over to the then Crozer Theological Seminary in 1924 , it was registered in the Ambrose Swabey Library of the Colgate Rochester Divinity School in Rochester , New York under the Inv. No. 8864 until it was auctioned at Sotheby’s in 2008 . Today the papyrus is part of the Green Collection .
