Papyrus 15
Papyrus 15 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), signed by ๐15, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It was originally a papyrus manuscript of the Pauline Corpus of letters, but now only contains 1 Corinthians 7:18-8:4. The manuscript has been palaeographically assigned to the 3rd century.
Description
The manuscript is written in a documentary hand. There are about 37-38 lines per page. Grenfeld and Hunt conjectured that ๐15 and ๐16 might have been part of the same manuscript. Both manuscripts have the same formation of letters, line space, and punctuation. The Greek text of this codex is probably a representative of the Alexandrian text-type, however the text is too brief to determine this exactly. Aland placed it in Category I. It was the last papyrus classified by Gregory, in 1915. It is currently housed at the Egyptian Museum (JE 47423) in Cairo.
