Uncial 0189 is the oldest parchment manuscript of the New Testament.
It consists of a single vellum leaf of a late second or early third century Greek codex, containing only small part of the Acts of the Apostles.
Its history is unknown, prior to its current possession by the State Museums of Berlin. Uncial 0189 measures 11.5 cm by 18 cm from a page of 32 lines. The scribe wrote in a reformed documentary hand.
The Alands describe the text-type as "at least normal". Uncial 0189 is an important early witness to the Alexandrian text-type, nearly always agreeing with the other witnesses to this type of text.[1]
It is classed as a "consistently cited witness of the first order" in the Novum Testamentum Graece (NA27).[2] NA27 considers it even more highly than other witnesses of this type. It provides an exclamation mark (!) for "papyri and uncial manuscripts of particular significance because of their age."[3]
The text was first published by AH Salonius in Zeitschrift für die neutestamentliche Wissenschaft in 1927.
