Papyrus 17 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), signed by $\mathfrak{P}$ ¹⁷, 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

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 punctation between verses 12 and 13, and between 15 and 16.^[2] It has no itacistic 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]
