Papyrus 47
New Testament manuscript
Papyrus 47 (P. Chester Beatty III), designated by siglum π47 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts), is an early Greek New Testament manuscript written on papyrus, and is one of the manuscripts comprising the Chester Beatty Papyri. Manuscripts among the Chester Beatty Papyri have had several places of discovery associated with them, the most likely being the Faiyum.[1] Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), it has been dated to the early 3rd century CE.[2] The codex contains text from the Book of Revelation chapters 9 through 17. It is currently housed at the Chester Beatty Library (Inv. 14. 1. 527) in Dublin.[3][4]
In November 2020, the CSNTM in conjunction with Hendrickson Publishers released a new 1:1 high-resolution imaged facsimile edition of π47 on black and white backgrounds, along with π45 and π46.[5]
