List of New Testament papyri

The grouping was first introduced by Caspar René Gregory, who assigned papyri texts the Blackletter character 𝔓 followed by a superscript number.

[2] Before 1900, only 9 papyri manuscripts were known, and only one had been cited in a critical apparatus (𝔓11 by Constantin von Tischendorf).

[3] The discoveries of the twentieth century brought about the earliest known New Testament manuscript fragments.

Among the most important are the Chester Beatty Papyri: 𝔓45, which contains the Gospels and Acts; 𝔓46, which contains the Pauline epistles; and 𝔓47, which contains the Book of Revelation.

[7] These early manuscripts are more complete, allowing scholars to better examine their textual character.
