Papyrus 75 (
75, Papyrus Bodmer XIV-XV) is an early New Testament papyrus.
Contents |
Description
Originally '[it] contained about 144 pages ... of which 102 have survived, either in whole or in part.'[1] It 'contains about half the text of ... two Gospels'[2] - Luke (Papyrus Bodmer XIV) and John (Papyrus Bodmer XV) in Greek. It is dated in Nestle-Aland (27th edition, NA27) as being an early third century manuscript. It is one the earliest manuscripts (along with [[Papyrus 4|4]])[3] of the Gospel of Luke. 'The surviving fragment contains Luke 3:18-24:53 ...'[3] [4]. "An unusual feature of this codex is that Luke ends and John begins on the same page."[5]
Text
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Kurt Aland placed it in Category I.[6]
The text is closer to Codex Vaticanus Graecus 1209 than to Codex Sinaiticus. Agreement between 75 and codex B is 92% in John,[7] and 94% in Luke[8]. It concurs with Papyrus 111.[9]
Textual variants
In Luke 11:4 phrase αλλα ρυσαι ημας απο του πονηρου (but deliver us from evil) is omitted. Omission is supported by the manuscripts: Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, Codex Regius, f1, 700, vg, syrs, copsa, bo, arm, geo.[10]
In Luke 16:19 the manuscript reads Ανθρωπος δε τις ην πλουσιος, ονοματι Ν[ιν]ευης, και ενεδιδυσκετο "There was a rich man, with the name N[in]eue, who clothed himself",[11] This reading has Sahidic version and two Greek minuscule manuscripts 36 and 37, besides a scholium of uncertain date have ευρον δε τινες και του πλουσιου εν τισιν αντιγραφοις τουνομα Νινευης λεγομενον.[12]
Luke 22:43-44 omitted, as in codices א*, A, B, T, 1071.[13]
In Luke 23:34 omitted words: "And Jesus said: Father forgive them, they know not what they do." This omission is supported by the manuscripts Sinaiticusa, B, D*, W, Θ, 0124, 1241, ita, d, syrs, copsa, copbo.[14]
The manuscript is currently housed at the Vatican Library at Rome.
The discovery of 75 had a profound effect on New Testament textual criticism, because of its great agreement with Codex Vaticanus.
