🏛️ Original held at the John Rylands Library, Manchester
🇬🇷 Written in Koine Greek

GENUINE EGYPTIAN PAPYRUS
This replica is produced using genuine Egyptian papyrus sourced from Egypt, giving each piece the natural fibres, texture and character associated with traditional papyrus.
Each fragment is individually prepared and finished by hand in Wales, UK, with careful attention given to recreating the distinctive appearance of P52.
Because genuine papyrus is a natural material, slight differences in fibres, texture and appearance make every replica unique.
---
PREMIUM 20MM LUCITE DISPLAY
The fragment is presented inside a substantial crystal-clear 20mm lucite acrylic display.
Unlike a conventional picture frame, the frameless design allows the papyrus to remain the centrepiece and can be viewed from both sides.
6 × 4 inches / 15 × 10 cm
20mm thick
Crystal-clear lucite acrylic
Frameless & freestanding
Double-sided presentation
Perfect for a desk, bookshelf, study, office or display cabinet.

PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATION & INFORMATION BOOKLET
Every display includes a professionally presented sealed booklet explaining:
• What P52 is
• Where the original manuscript is held
• Its historical significance
• The surviving passages
• English translation of the text
Everything needed to understand the manuscript is included.
This makes it an excellent surprise gift — there is no need to explain what it is beforehand. Simply give the gift and let the manuscript speak for itself.

Christians • Pastors • Bible Students • Theology Students • History Lovers • Manuscript Collectors • Baptisms • Birthdays • Christmas • Father’s Day

This is one of the best replicas I’ve seen, the attention to detail and level of care that goes into making it are clearly recognisable.
It fits perfectly onto my bookshelf as a great talking point.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you love the replica and that it makes a great addition to your bookshelf. We appreciate your support!
Thank you so much Rhys. An amazing replica of history in my hands.
I’ve spoke to Rhys personally while he was preparing this piece for me. I could tell it was a real Labour of love for him and the excitement he had was infectious.
I look forward to adding more replicas by Rhys to my collection in the near future.
This is an amazing piece of reproduction. I highly recommend this to anyone who is on the fence! Wonderful work and a great buying experience with speedy communication.
Unfortunately being in Australia the package took about 3 weeks to arrive. It would be helpful to have a better idea of delivery times (or maybe this was noted somewhere not immediately obvious?)
Also, the 2 covers slide across one another. This meant that there are now some smears around the 4 location points due to delivery. Odd that the 2 sheets aren't more rigidly fixed.
Thank you for your feedback. Each frame is tightly bubble-wrapped, double-boxed and sent in a protective padded bag, so movement during transit is extremely unlikely. Please send me some photos of the damage and I’ll be happy to take a look.
Arrived Prompt, Packed Great, Arrived Intact w/ No Damage.
The P52 replica was as advertised and everyone gifted them absolutely loved them.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad everyone loved the P52 replica. We appreciate your support!
Great product
Love the quality and care that has gone into this product. Will love displaying my P52 on my desk at work. I also love the included information about the fragment and its significance. I will be reccomending this to my friends, family, and fellow church members. Hope one day other gospels like Mark will be added but for now I am extremely satisfied. Will buy again in the future!
Nice but the info sticker is not attached straight (slanted) which is quite disturbing and a bit of a disappointment as it spoils the entire look
Great presentation. Would reccommend.
Hi Bill, thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad you enjoyed the presentation. We appreciate your recommendation!
Good job!
Really happy with the fragment Ive had, looks great
Hi there! We're thrilled to hear you're happy with your fragment. Thanks for sharing your positive experience!
I recently purchased a P52 fragment from this company, and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. Communication was prompt and professional, the fragment arrived securely packaged, and it was clear that great care had gone into every aspect of the process. It’s a fascinating piece of history, and I’m absolutely delighted with my purchase. If you’re interested in ancient manuscripts or biblical artefacts, I’d highly recommend them. Excellent service and a great experience throughout.
Fantastic products and great customer service. Rhys went above and beyond to meet my needs. I got one for myself and gifted one, it went down well.
This was a gift to me looks gorgeous on my mantelpiece and comes with an explanation in a small bottle
What a genuine and unique peace to add to my collection definitely worth it
Bought three different scripts as a present. Excellent replicas and craftsmanship on the product. Thank you
