Papyrus 50 (Gregory-Aland), designated by 𝔓50, is an early copy of a small part of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Acts of the Apostles, it contains Acts 8:26-32; 10:26-31. The manuscript palaeographically has been assigned to the 3rd/4th century.[1] Elijah Hixson suggests that the manuscript may possibly be a forgery based on anomalies in line spacing, some text seeming to wrap around lacunae, and serious issues with fiber alignment in the papyrus.[2]
Description
The Greek text of this codex is mixed. It has some orthographical peculiarities and corrections. Aland placed it in Category III.[1] The text generally concurs with Codex Sinaiticus and Vaticanus.[3]
The nomina sacra are contracted (ΙΛΗΜ, ΠΝΑ, ΑΝΟΣ, ΑΝΟΝ, ΘΣ, ΘΥ, ΚΥ).[4]
The manuscript was purchased in Paris by Yale University in 1933 along with other manuscripts of Egyptian provenance.[5] The text of the codex was published in 1937 by Carl H. Kraeling.[6]
It is currently housed at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University (P.CtYBR inv. 1543) in New Haven.[1][7][8]
