Papyrus 66 (also referred to as 66) is a near complete codex of the Gospel of John, and part of the collection known as the Bodmer Papyri. ==Description== The manuscript contains John 1:1-6:11, 6:35b-14:26, 29-30; 15:2-26; 16:2-4, 6-7; 16:10-20:20, 22-23; 20:25-21:9, 12, 17. It is one of the oldest well-preserved New Testament manuscripts known to exist. Its original editor assigned the codex to the early third century, or around AD 200, on the basis of the style of handwriting in the codex.〔Victor Martin, ''Papyrus Bodmer II: Evangile de Jean chap. 1–14'' (Cologny-Geneva: Bibliotheca Bodmeriana, 1956), 15-18.〕 Herbert Hunger later claimed that the handwriting should be dated to an earlier period in the middle or early part of the second century.〔Herbert Hunger. "Zur Datierung des Papyrus Bodmer II (P66)," ''Anzeiger der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften philosophisch-historische Klasse'' 97 (1961) 12–23.〕 More recently, Brent Nongbri has produced a broader study of the codex and argued that when one takes into consideration the format, construction techniques, and provenance of the codex along with the handwriting, it is more reasonable to conclude that the codex was produced "in the early or middle part of the fourth century." 〔Brent Nongbri. "The Limits of Palaeographic Dating of Literary Papyri: Some Observations on the Date and Provenance of P.Bodmer II (P66)," ''Museum Helveticum'' 71 (2014), 1-35.〕 In common with both the other surviving early papyri of John's Gospel; P45 (apparently), P75, and most New Testament uncials, Papyrus 66 does not include the pericope of the adulteress (7:53-8:11);〔Philip Comfort and David Barrett. ''Text of the Earliest New Testament Greek manuscripts'' (Grand Rapids: Baker, 1999.) p. 376.〕 demonstrating the absence of this passage in all the surviving early witnesses of the Gospel of John. The manuscript also contains, consistently, the use of Nomina Sacra. Studies done by Karyn Berner〔Karyn Berner. ''Papyrus Bodmer II, 66: A re-evaluation of the Correctors and corrections'' (MA thesis, 1993)〕 and Philip Comfort,〔Philip W. Comfort. ''The Scribe as Interpreter: A new Look at New Testament Textual Criticism according to Reader-Reception Theory'' (1996)〕 contended that 66 had the work of three individuals on it: The original, professional scribe, a thoroughgoing corrector and a minor corrector. But more recently James Royse argues that, with the possible exception of John 13:19, the corrections are all by the hand of the original copyist.〔Royse, pp. 409-21.〕 The staurogram appears in at least ten places in the papyrus (corresponding to chapter 19 of the Gospel).〔Hurtado, Larry W., in ''New Testament Manuscripts: Their Text and Their World'', ed.
