but is now incomplete: leaves are missing at the beginning of Genesis and some of the Psalms; document breaks off at Hebrews 9.13, thus lacking the Pastorals, Philemon, and Revelation. Some of the missing content was supplemented in the fifteenth-century by scribe ?????? ???????????. Possibly of Alexandrian origin, Codex Vaticanus belonged to the famous Cardinal Basilius Bessarion (1400–1472), Latin Patriarch of Constantinople. Shortly after Bessarion’s death, the manuscript appears in the catalog of the Vatican Library in 1475. In 1797, it was taken to Paris, then returned to the Vatican after Napoleon’s fall in 1815.

has eighteen leaves with text from 1 Peter 1:1–5:14, and 2 Peter 1:1–3:18. Another part is housed at the Martin Bodmer Foundation and has four leaves with the epistle of Jude. Before being separated, the two parts were bound with other papyrus gatherings in one codex known as the “Composite” or “Miscellaneous” codex. Besides the New Testament content, this “Miscellaneous Codex” contained various non-canonical documents, such as the Protoevangelium of James, the pseudo-Pauline letter of 3 Corinthians, the 11th Ode of Solomon, Peri Pascha by Melito of Sardis, and a hymn. The document was part of a finding of papyrus manuscripts in the 1950s in the proximity of Dishna between Nag Hammadi and Dendera, Egypt.

one leaf is housed at the Chester Beatty Museum in Dublin (Ireland), and other leaves are housed at the Institut für Altertumskunde in Cologne (Germany). P66 is an early manuscript that omits John 7:53–8:11, or the passage of the woman caught in adultery (a.k.a. PA). P66 is part of the cache of papyrus manuscripts found in the region of Dishna, Egypt, in the 1950s.


This is the only known Greek manuscript in which Ephesians precedes Galatians. P45 and P46 are rather significant because they indicate that already in the third century and at least in some locations, some New Testament writings were compiled into one book. In the case of P45, a fourfold Gospel collection circulated as a single book with Acts. P46 attests to the existence of a Pauline collection. Finally, P47 is one of the oldest manuscripts of Revelation with only ten leaves. In Revelation 13:18, P47 transmits “666” (???) as the “number of the beast.” CSNTM photographed the images of the three manuscripts and produced this facsimile in partnership with the holding institutions and the publisher, Hendrickson.
