Papyrus 75
Papyrus 75 (formerly Papyrus Bodmer XIV–XV, now Hanna Papyrus 1), designated by the siglum 𝔓75 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts), is an early Greek New Testament manuscript written on papyrus. It contains text from the Gospel of Luke 3:18–24:53, and John 1:1–15:8.: 101 It is generally described as "the most significant" papyrus of the New Testament to be discovered so far.: 244 Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), it has been traditionally dated to the third century.: 101 It is due to this early dating that the manuscript has a high evaluation, and the fact its text so closely resembles that of the fourth-century Codex Vaticanus (B).: 405–407
