Papyrus 15 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated as 𝔓15, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It was part of a papyrus manuscript containing the Pauline letters. It contains 1 Corinthians . The manuscript has been palaeographically assigned either to the 3rd century or the fourth century.

Description

The manuscript is written in a competent literary hand that is sometimes described as belonging to the "severe style." There are about 37-38 lines per page. 𝔓15 and 𝔓16 were almost certainly part of the same manuscript.

The Greek text of this codex is probably a representative of the Alexandrian text-type, however the text is too brief to determine this exactly. Aland placed it in Category I. It is currently housed at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (BAAM 0543) in Alexandria.
