Papyrus 15 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), signed by ${\mathfrak {P}}$ ¹⁵, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It was originally a papyrus manuscript of the Pauline Corpus of letters, but now only contains 1 Corinthians 7:18-8:4.^[1] The manuscript has been palaeographically assigned to the 3rd century.^[2]

Description

The manuscript is written in a documentary hand.^[2] There is about 37-38 lines per page.^[2] Grenfeld and Hunt conjectured that ${\mathfrak {P}}$ ¹⁵ and ${\mathfrak {P}}$ ¹⁶ might have been part of the same manuscript. Both manuscripts have the same formation of letters, line space, and punctuation.^[1]

The Greek text of this codex is probably a representative of the Alexandrian text-type, however the text is too brief to determine this exactly. Aland placed it in Category I.^[3]

It was the last papyrus classified by Gregory (in 1915).

Currently housed at the Egyptian Museum (JE 47423) in Cairo.^[3]^[4]
