The '''Rylands Papyri''' are a collection of thousands of [[papyrus]] fragments and documents from [[North Africa]] and [[Greece]] housed at the [[John Rylands University Library]], [[Manchester]], [[United Kingdom|UK]]. The collection includes the [[Rylands Library Papyrus P52]], also known as the '''St John's fragment''', a fragment from a [[papyrus]] [[codex]], generally accepted as the earliest extant record of a [[Canonical gospel]].[1][2][3]

==The collection==
The Rylands Papyri collection held by the John Rylands University Library, is one of the most extensive and wide-ranging [[papyrus]] [[manuscript]] collections in the [[United Kingdom]]. It includes religious, devotional, literary and administrative texts. The collection includes 7 [[hieroglyph|hieroglyphic]] and 19 [[hieratic]] papyri which are funerary documents dating from the 14th century [[Common Era|BCE]] to the 2nd century [[Common Era|CE]]. It also holds 166 [[Demotic (Egyptian)|demotic]] papyri, mostly dating from the [[History of Ptolemaic Egypt|Ptolemaic]] period, including the famous ''[[Petiese|Petition of Petiese]]'' (pRylands 9)[4] from the reign of [[Darius I of Persia]].[5]

The collection also houses about 500 [[Coptic language|Coptic]] papyri, and around 800 [[Arabic language|Arabic]] papyri consisting of private letters, together with tradesmen's and household accounts. Among the roughly 2,000 [[Koine Greek|Greek]] papyri are the famous fragments of the ''[[Gospel of John]]'' and ''[[Deuteronomy]],'' the earliest surviving fragments of the [[New Testament]] and the [[Septuagint]] (Papyrus 957, the Rylands Papyrus iii.458)[5][6] respectively; [[Papyrus 31]], a fragment of a papyrus manuscript of the ''[[Epistle to the Romans]]''; and [[Papyrus 32]], a fragment of the ''[[Epistle to Titus]].'' Also held in the collection is [[Papyrus Rylands 463]], a copy of the apocryphal ''[[Gospel of Mary]]'' in [[Greek language|Greek]], and John Rylands Papyrus 470, a prayer in [[Koine Greek]] to the [[Theotokos]], written about 250 [[Common Era|CE]] in brown ink, the earliest known copy of such a prayer. It was acquired by the Library in 1917.[7]
