Papyrus 75 (after Gregory-Aland ⁷⁵ , Papyrus Bodmer XIV – XV ) is a very early papyrus of the New Testament . Originally it contained around 144 pages, 102 of which have survived either in full or in part. It "contains half the text of [...] two Gospels" - Luke ( Papyrus Bodmer XIV) and John ( Papyrus Bodmer XV) - in Greek . It was dated by Nestle-Aland (27th ed.) As an early third century manuscript. It is one of the oldest manuscripts (together with ⁴ ) of the Gospel of Luke . “The remaining fragment contains Luke 3: 18–24: 53 [...]”. "A special feature of this code is the fact that Luke ends on the same page where the Gospel of John begins." ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {P}}}$ ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {P}}}$

The Greek text of this code is of the Alexandrian text type . Kurt Aland placed it in Category I a. The text is closer to the Codex Vaticanus than to the Codex Sinaiticus . The correspondence between ⁷⁵ and codex B is 92% in John and 94% in Luke. It matches ¹¹¹ . ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {P}}}$ ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {P}}}$

The manuscript is currently kept in the Vatican Library in Rome .

The discovery of ⁷⁵ had a profound impact on the textual criticism of the New Testament , as it fits in perfectly with the Codex Vaticanus. ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {P}}}$
