Template:New Testament manuscript infobox
Papyrus 23, also known as P. Oxy X 1229, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Epistle of James, surviving in a fragmentary condition containing only James 1:10-12,15-18. It is designated by the siglum Template:Papyrus in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts. Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), it has been assigned to the early 3rd century.[1]
Description
The Nomina sacra are written fully, abbreviations are used only at the end of lines.[2] There has been noticed the occurrence of the ungrammatical αποσκιασματος found also in Codex Sinaiticus and Vaticanus in James 1:17. It is currently housed in the Spurlock Museum at the University of Illinois (G. P. 1229) in Urbana, Illinois.[3]Template:R/superscript[4][5]
Text
The Greek text of this codex is considered a representative of the Alexandrian text-type (or rather proto-Alexandrian). Biblical scholar Kurt Aland placed it in Category I of his New Testament manuscript classification system.[3] The manuscript displays the greatest textual agreement with codices Sinaticus (א), Alexandrinus, and Ephraemi, which represent the best text of the Catholic epistles, and then with Codex Vaticanus and Template:Papyrus link.[1]Template:R/superscript
