Papyrus 22 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by 𝔓22, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of John, it contains only John 15:25-16:2.21-32. The manuscript paleographically had been assigned to the early 3rd century.[1]

Description

It was written in two consecutive columns of all roll. The reverse side is blank.[2] The nomina sacra abbreviated. No punctuation marks.[3]

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type (rather proto-Alexandrian). Aland described it as a normal text and placed it in Category I.[1] This manuscript displays an independent text.[2] Coincidences with the Codex Sinaiticus are frequent, but divergences are noticeable.[3] There are no singular readings.[4] According to Schofield the fragment rather represents the eclecticism of the early papyri before the crystallizing of the textual families had taken place.[2]

It was digitized by the CSNTM in 2008.[5]

It is currently housed at the Glasgow University Library (MS Gen 1026) in Glasgow.[1][6]
