Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 1 (P. Oxy. 1) is a papyrus fragment of the logia of Jesus written in Greek. It was among the first of the Oxyrhynchus Papyri discovered by Grenfell and Hunt. It was discovered on the second day of excavation, January 12, 1897, in the garbage mounds in the Egyptian town of Oxyrhynchus.〔Bernard P. Grenfell, "The Oldest Record of Christ's LIve," McClure's Vol. IX (1897), p. 1027.〕 The fragment is dated to the early half of the 3rd century.〔 Grenfell and Hunt originally dated the fragment between 150-300 CE, but "probably not written much later than the year 200." It was later discovered to be the oldest manuscript of the Gospel of Thomas.〔 The manuscript was written on papyrus in codex form. The measurements of the original leaf were . The text is written in uncial letters, with one column per page and 21 lines per page, in a reformed documentary hand.〔Larry Hurtado, ''The Earliest Christian Artifacts'' (Wm. Eerdmans 2006), p. 228. 〕 The last line is fragmented. There is a pagination at the upper right corner (number ΙΑ = 11 on the verso). The nomina sacra are written in an abbreviated way (ΙΣ, ΘΥ, ΠΡΑ, ΑΝΩΝ).〔Larry Hurtado, ''The Earliest Christian Artifacts'' (Wm. Eerdmans 2006), p. 239. 〕 According to Grenfell and Hunt, who identified this fragment only as ''Logia Iesu'' ("Sayings of Jesus"), the original manuscript contained a collection of Jesus's sayings, which were independent of the four Gospels in their present form. They classified it as non-heretical and placed the origin of its sayings as earlier than 140 A.D. They observed some parallels with the works of Clement of Alexandria. Grenfell and Hunt did not realize they had discovered part of the Gospel of Thomas, as at the time there was no reference text.〔(Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 1 ) BAS Library 〕 The only complete copy of the Gospel of Thomas was found in 1945 when a Coptic version was discovered at Nag Hammadi with a collection of early Christian Gnostic texts, and it was only after that discovery that the text of Oxyrhynchus Papyri I was able to be attributed. The fragment contains logia (sayings) 26–28 of the Gospel of Thomas on the recto, and logia 29–33 on the verso of the leaf.〔 with what appears as the last two sentences of logion 77 in the Nag Hammadi Coptic version included at the end of logion 30. Grenfell and Hunt also discovered another two fragments of this apocryphal Gospel: P. Oxy. 654 and P. Oxy. 655.〔 Peter Nagel, (''Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 654, 1–5 und der Prolog des Thomasevangeliums'' ) ZNW, Volume 101, Issue 2, p. 267. 〕 It was discovered by Hunt on the second day of the excavations.〔Peter Parsons Weiden, (''Unearthing history: City of the Sharp-Nosed Fish: Greek lives in Roman Egypt'' ), New Statesman, 23 April 2007.〕 In November 1900, P. Oxy. 1 was given to the Bodleian Library by the Egypt Exploration Fund.〔(Bodleian Library MS.Gr.th.e.7(P) ) – GPBC〕 The fragment is housed at the Bodleian Library (Ms. Gr. th. e 7 (P)).〔 == See also == * Oxyrhynchus Papyri * Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 2 * Nag Hammadi Codex II * British Library Or 4926 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 1」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
