The P.Yale 1 inv. 419 (also Rahlfs 814, VH 12, TM 61924) is a septuagint manuscript of the biblical Book of Genesis. This is possibly the oldest fragment of Genesis written on papyrusinkoine Greek. It is paleographically dated to the early 2nd century CE.[1]
This manuscript came from Cairo, Egypt, and in 1964, it was published by C. Bradford Weller. The manuscript was in the form of a Codex with 14 x 9.7 cm.[2]
The text contains part of the book of Genesis according to the Septuagint. On the recto it contains Genesis 14 5-8 and on the verso Genesis 14 12–15.[3] This may be the oldest Christian manuscript that attests to the codex form.[4]
