Papyrus 106
Template:New Testament manuscript infobox
Papyrus 106 is a fragmentary manuscript of the Gospel of John from the New Testament in Greek written on papyrus. It contains text from John 1:29-35 & 1:40-46. It is designated by the siglum Template:Papyrus in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts. Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), it has been assigned assigned to the early 3rd century.[1] The manuscript is currently housed at the Sackler Library (Papyrology Rooms, shelf number P. Oxy. 4445) at Oxford University in Oxford, England.[2]
Description
The manuscript is made of papyrus, and originally would have been around 12.5 cm x 23 cm in size, with about 35 lines per page.[3] Due to pagination being extant (gamma/Γ (=3) on the front and delta/Δ (=4) on the reverse of the leaf), this indicates that the manuscript was either a single codex of John, or had John at the beginning of a collection.Template:R
Textual Character
Despite its fragmentary nature, the text of the manuscript is considered a representative of the Alexandrian text-type (or rather proto-Alexandrian), bearing familiarity to Template:Papyrus link, Template:Papyrus link, Codex Sinaiticus (Template:Larger), and Vaticanus (B).Template:R The text-types are groups of different New Testament manuscripts which share specific or generally related readings, which then differ from each other group, and thus the conflicting readings can separate out the groups.Template:R These are then used to determine the original text as published; there are three main groups with names: Alexandrian, Western, and Byzantine.[4]Template:Rp
