A New Testament papyrus is a copy of a portion of the New Testament made on papyrus. To date, over 140 such papyri are known. They are considered the earliest versions ofthe original text of the New Testament.
The grouping of papyri was first introduced by Caspar RenΓ© Gregory, who assigned them the Blackletter character π followed by a superscript number. This number refers to the order in which the papyrus was registered. Before 1900, only 9 papyri manuscripts were known. By 1989 there were 96 known papyri, and as of 2021, a total of 141 papyri are known.
Among the most important are the Chester Beatty Papyri: π45, which contains the Gospels and Acts; π46, which contains the Pauline epistles; and π47, which contains the Book of Revelation. All of these are thought to date from sometime in the third century. The Bodmer Papyri: π66, which contains the Gospel of John; and π75, which contains the Gospels of Luke and John are more complete, allowing scholars to better examine their textual character.
