Papyrus 39 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), signed by 𝔓39, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of John, it contains only John 8:14-22. The manuscript paleographically had been assigned to the 3rd century. Written by professional scribe, in 25 lines per page, in large, beautiful letters. It has numbered pages. [1]
Don Barker proposes a wider and earlier range of dates for Papyrus 39, along with Uncial 0232, Papyrus 88 and Uncial 0206; and states that all four could be dated as early as the late second century or as late as the end of the fourth century. [2]
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type (proto-Alexandrian). Aland placed it in Category I. [3] 𝔓39 shows agreement with Vaticanus and 𝔓75. [1] There are no singular readings. [4]
Guglielmo Cavallo published its facsimile in 1967. [5]
The manuscript now resides in the Green Collection and is featured at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C.
