This item is for a Numbered, Signed, Limited Edition Replica of the Book Of Revelation Fragment Folio From Papyrus 47,
an early 3rd Century Collection, Containing: 9:10-11:3; 11:5-16:15; and 16:17-17:2
Papyrus 47, also known as P. Chester Beatty III, is an early Greek New Testament manuscript written on papyrus, and is one of the manuscripts comprising the Chester Beatty Papyri. It is designated by the siglum P47 in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts. Manuscripts among the Chester Beatty Papyri have had several places of discovery associated with them, the most likely being the Faiyum. Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), it has been dated to the early 3rd century CE. The manuscript contains text from the Book of Revelation chapters 9 through 17. It is currently housed at the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin.
The manuscript is a codex (precursor to the modern book format), written with black ink on papyrus. The manuscript is quite fragmented, containing the text of Revelation 9:10-11:3; 11:5-16:15; and 16:17-17:2. The extant part of the manuscript comprises 10 leaves arranged as a single quire. The original size of the pages was 24x14cm (9.45 x 5.5 inch), with around 23-30 lines each page The writing column was quite small, comprising 19x10cm, with 1-4 lines lost at the top of each page. Due to the first five leaves facing back to front (also known as verso to recto), and the last five leaves facing front to back (recto to verso), this is evidence the extant leaves are from the middle portion, and likely that only the Book of Revelation was included in the manuscript. It is calculated that the manuscript likely had 30-32 leaves in total to house the text.
