Papyrus 17 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), signed by 𝔓17, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Epistle to the Hebrews, but only contains verses 9:12-19. The manuscript has been paleographically assigned to the 4th century.[1] However, according to Philip Comfort it is from the late 3rd century.[2]

Description

Bernard Grenfell Arthur Hunt

The leaf is in fragmentary condition (originally 19 by 25 cm).[2] The text fills in where Codex Vaticanus is vacant (from Hebrews 9:14).[2]

The Nomina Sacra are used throughout. The scribe used marks for punctuation between verses 12 and 13, and between 15 and 16.[2] It has no iotacistic errors.

The Greek text of this codex is representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Aland placed it in Category II.[1]

It was discovered by Lord Crawford in Egypt.[3] The text was edited in 1911 by Grenfell and Hunt.[4]

Currently housed at the Cambridge University Library (Add. 5893) in Cambridge.[1][5]
