Bodmer VIII Papyrus - Epistles of St. Peter

A true sensation: in 1956, the Swiss collector Martin Bodmer bought a bundle of papyri from the 2nd to 4th centuries after Christ. Discovered shortly beforehand in Egypt, these pieces of writing represent significant textual witnesses, particularly for the text of the Bible. One papyrus, entitled Bodmer 72 or P72, contains, among other things, the oldest surviving copy of the Epistles of Peter, Jude's Epistle, and individual Psalms, as well as poems by Melito of Sardis. In 1969, a part of this papyrus - comprising the 1st and 2nd Epistles of Peter - was given to the Vatican Library as a gift for the Pope. The 3rd century papyrus with ancient Greek text in uncial script consists of a total of 36 pages. The almost 1,800-year-old document of incredible value still offers a fascinating insight into the time of origin of the Bible texts in early Christianity and is today known as Bodmer VIII.

Bodmer VIII Papyrus - Epistles of St. Peter

Martin Bodmer, a well-moneyed independent Swiss scholar, obtained this treasure in 1956. Bodmer collected countless historically significant pieces of writing, especially the oldest surviving specimens. His library contained 150,000 pieces, “one of the most beautiful manuscript collections in the world.” The papyri probably represented the most important gem in this collection. The bundle of papers impresses through it significant content, the Biblical texts and texts of the church fathers, but also contained antique plays. “It is believed that the Bodmer Papyrus contains the oldest textual fragments of the Gospel of Luke, the oldest Lord’s Prayer, and one of the oldest fragments from the Gospel of John.”

The Torturous Paths of a Special Papyrus

The papyri were discovered in middle Egypt in 1952. The bundle likely came into Bodmers collection of Martin Bodmer under some dubious circumstances in 1956. The pieces of writing were named the Bodmer Papyri after their original owner. Since 2003, they have been appointed to the Bibliotheca Bodmeriana in Cologny, near Genf. In 1969, a piece of this collection was gifted to Pope Paul VI in the Vatican: the Bodmer VIII Papyrus.

The Oldest Surviving Copy of the 1st and 2nd Epistles of Peter

The Papyrus VIII Bodmer is a part of Papyrus 72, a piece of writing from the 3rd century, that was completed by various scribes. P72, as the Papyrus is referred to in research for short, contains the oldest surviving copy of the 1st and 2nd Epistles of Peter, together with the first transcript of Jude’s Epistle and some individual Psalms. Aside from that, an apocryphal text about the life of Mary and the childhood of Jesus is to be found in Papyrus 72, in addition to songs and poems by Melito. The Bodmer VIII Papyrus hence contains the part with both of Peter’s Epistles.

Very Close to the Original

This Bodmer VIII Papyrus, which is housed today in the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana and is guarded as a treasure of inestimable worth, represents the oldest surviving manuscript to this New Testament text. The copy of the 1st and 2nd Epistles of Peter from the 3rd century is a significant textual witness of early Christianity. The papyrus grants a fascinating glimpse into this time of the Bible’s creation!

Bodmer VIII Papyrus

1 Peter 5:12–14

This page shows the end of the First Epistle of Peter, which is addressed to the “chosen pilgrims of the diaspora” who were being persecuted in Asia Minor. Despite the ragged and tattered appearance of the papyrus itself, the neat margins and even spacing of the text indicates a skilled, albeit somewhat rushed, scribe copied this page and added the decorative funnel-shaped elements at the bottom.

The text on the page reads: “By Silvanus, our faithful brother as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand. She who is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you; and so does Mark my son. Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.”
