Papyrus 12 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts), α 1033 (in the von Soden numbering of New Testament manuscripts), designated by siglum 𝔓12, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Epistle to the Hebrews but only containing Hebrews 1:1. Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), it has been assigned to ca. 285. It may have been a writing exercise or an amulet.[1]

[edit]
Full page.

The verse has been written at the top of the second column by another (likely later) writer in three lines.[1]: 82  It has been written in a small uncial hand.[2] On the verso of this manuscript another writer has penned Genesis 1:1-5 according to Septuagint.[1]

Text
πολυμερως κ πολυ[τρο]πως
παλε ο θς λαλήσ[α]ς το[ις π]ατρα
σ[ι] ημ[ω]ν εν τοις προ[φηταις][2]

It has error of itacism (παλε instead of παλαι), the nomina sacra contracted (ΘΣ).

The Greek text of this small portion of Hebrews is probably a representative of the Alexandrian text-type, but its text is too brief for certainty. Aland placed it in Category I of his New Testament manuscript classification system.[3]

It supports the textual variant ημων as in codices 𝔓46c a t v vgmss syrp.[4]

History

[edit]

The manuscript was discovered in 1897 by Grenfell and Hunt.[1]

It is currently housed at The Morgan Library & Museum (Pap. Gr. 3; P. Amherst 3b) in New York City.[3][5][6]
