List of New Testament papyri

The New Testament papyri are mostly early and often badly damaged manuscripts of the New Testament, among which are the earliest known textual witnesses. Most of these manuscripts were known until the 20th century, and soon acquired a particularly important position in the New Testament textual criticism. Papyrus in ancient times was an inexpensive and widely used writing material against moisture and wear is sensitive, however, so that only comparatively few fragments have been preserved. The papyri emerged mostly during the period from the 2nd to the 7th century. After this time papyrus was hardly in use. In 2012, a total of 127 papyri with Greek texts of the New Testament were known.

This group of New Testament papyri was first introduced by Caspar René Gregory, who described the papyrus texts with Sigel in broken font, followed by a superscript number. Before 1900 only nine papyri were known, it was only 11 used by Constantin von Tischendorf in the critical apparatus. These 9 papyrus is only individual fragments, with the exception of 15, which consists of a single full page.

The discoveries of the twentieth century brought the oldest known manuscripts of the New Testament revealed. Kenyon knew in 1912 already 14 papyri, Aland et al. included in 1963 in the first edition of the short list Condensed 76 papyri, 1989, 96 papyri known and 2012 there were 127
