Papyrus Heidelberg G 600
The Heidelberg Septuagint papyrus (P. Heid. Inv. G. 600 or VHP I 1; Rahlfs No. 919) is a fragment of a papyrus manuscript from the 7th century. It offers parts of the book Zechariah from chapter 4 and the book Malachi in Greek ( Septuagint ). 27 damaged sheets of 34 × 25 cm format have been preserved, which are described in an elaborate uncial . The text is very similar to the Codex Alexandrinus (A) and the Codex Marchalianus (Q).
The fragments were acquired in Egypt in 1889 by the Viennese art dealer Theodor Graf and left in 1901 to the university library of the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg . Today you are in the Institute for Papyrology of the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg under the signature P. Heid. Inv. G 600. The sheets have been digitized. The first edition, now obsolete, was published in 1893 by William Henry Hechler in the Transactions of the 9th international congress of Orientalists , Vol. 2, London 1893, pp. 331–333.
