Article by Alviero Niccacci, O.F.M. of the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum in Jerusalem The PAPYRUS EGERTON 2 Homepage Papyrus Egerton 2 is a codex fragment of an unknown gospel, found in Egypt and published in 1935/1987. It is one of the oldest known fragments (around 200), it is neither "heretical" nor "gnostic", it seems to be almost independent of the synoptics and it represents a johannine tradition independent of the canonical John. Additionally it tells us an otherwise unknown miracle story!
