Vorlage:New Testament manuscript infobox
Papyrus 23 (Gregory-Aland), signed by 23, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Epistle of James, it contains only James 1:10-12.15-18. The manuscript paleographically had been assigned to the early 3rd century.[1]
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type (rather proto-Alexandrian). Aland placed it in Category I.[2] This manuscript displays the greatest agreement with codices א A C, which represent the best text of the Catholic epistles.[1]
It is currently housed at the University of Illinois (G. P. 1229) in Urbana, Illinois.[2]
