Papyrus 22, designated by 𝔓22 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts), is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of John, only containing extant John 15:25-16:2, 21–32. Using the study of comparative writings styles, ( palaeography), the manuscript has been dated to the early 3rd century CE. [1] It is the only identified New Testament papyrus to have been written originally as a roll; not a codex or re-using the back of a scroll.
Description
The text was written in two consecutive columns on a roll. The reverse side is blank. [2] The manuscript employs conventional Nomina Sacra: ΠΣ ΠΝΑ ΠΡΣ ΠΡΑ ΙΗΣ ΑΝΟΣ. The text contains no punctuation marks. [3]
The Greek text of this codex is considered a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Aland described it as a normal text and placed it in Category I. [1] This manuscript displays an independent text. [2] Coincidences with the Codex Sinaiticus are frequent, but divergences are noticeable. [3] There are no singular readings. [4] According to Schofield the fragment rather represents the eclecticism of the early papyri before the crystallizing of the textual families had taken place. [2]
It is currently housed at the Glasgow University Library (MS Gen 1026) in Glasgow. [1] [5]
