	[[Caspar René Gregory]] published a cataloging system in [[1908 AD\|1908]] in ''Die griechischen Handschriften des Neuen Testaments'', which is the system still in use today. Gregory divided the manuscripts into 4 groupings: [[List_of_New_Testament_papyri\|papyri]], uncials, [[List_of_New_Testament_minuscules\|minuscules]], and [[Lectionary\|lectionaries]]. This division is partially arbitrary. The first grouping is based on the physical material ([[papyrus]]) used in the manuscripts. The second two divisions are based on script: uncial and minuscule. The last grouping is based on content: lectionary. Most of the papyrus manuscripts and the lectionaries before the year 1000 are written in uncial script. However, there is some consistency in that the majority of the papyri are very early because parchment began to replace papyrus in the 4th century (although the latest papyri dates to the 8th century).

[[Caspar René Gregory]] published a cataloging system in [[1908 AD|1908]] in ''Die griechischen Handschriften des Neuen Testaments'', which is the system still in use today. Gregory divided the manuscripts into 4 groupings: papyri, uncials, minuscules, and [[Lectionary|lectionaries]]. This division is partially arbitrary. The first grouping is based on the physical material ([[papyrus]]) used in the manuscripts. The second two divisions are based on script: uncial and minuscule. The last grouping is based on content: lectionary. Most of the papyrus manuscripts and the lectionaries before the year 1000 are written in uncial script. However, there is some consistency in that the majority of the papyri are very early because parchment began to replace papyrus in the 4th century (although the latest papyri dates to the 8th century). Similarly, the majority of the uncials date to before the 11th century, and the majority of the minuscules to after.[1]

Gregory assigned the papyri a prefix of '''P''', often written in [[blackletter]] script ('''[[Image:C3945eee4633c095c5059f9a67aca5f7.png]]'''), with a superscript numeral. The uncials were given a prefix of the number 0, and the established letters for the major manuscripts were retained for redundancy (''i.e.'' [[Codex Claromontanus]] is assigned both '''06''' and '''D'''). The minuscules were given plain numbers, and the lectionaries were prefixed with '''''l''''' often written in script ('''ℓ'''). [[Kurt Aland]] continued Gregory's cataloging work through the 1950s and beyond. Because of this, the numbering system is often referred to as "Gregory-Aland numbers". The most recent manuscripts added to each grouping are [[Papyrus 124|[[Image:C3945eee4633c095c5059f9a67aca5f7.png]]124]], [[Uncial 0318|0318]], [[Minuscule 2882|2882]], and ''ℓ'' 2281. Due to the cataloging heritage and because some manuscripts which were initially numbered separately were discovered to be from the same codex, there is some redundancy in the list (''i.e.'' the [[Magdalen papyrus]] has both the numbers of [[Papyrus 64|[[Image:C3945eee4633c095c5059f9a67aca5f7.png]]64]] and [[Papyrus 67|[[Image:C3945eee4633c095c5059f9a67aca5f7.png]]67]]).[1]
