Hold a piece
of Scripture's history.
Each facsimile is hand-crafted on authentic papyrus and recreated to match the scale, texture, and character of the earliest New Testament manuscripts — so the history of Scripture becomes something you can hold, study, and display.
From Fragment to Facsimile
Every manuscript begins with research and ends in your hands — recreated faithfully, then cut, assembled, and inspected by hand.

The First Hymn
Manuscript Shop was commissioned to produce a museum-quality facsimile of P. Oxy. XV 1786 — one of the earliest known Christian hymn manuscripts — for the cast of The First Hymn.
The collaboration places a tangible piece of early Christian worship into the hands of those bringing its story to the screen.

Manuscript Shop × Wesley Huff
"Christianity is rooted in history, and manuscripts are among the
earliest witnesses we have to that history. One of the reasons I chose to collaborate with ManuscriptShop is that they make these remarkable artifacts accessible to ordinary people. These replicas allow individuals to move beyond simply hearing about manuscripts and actually engage with them firsthand."
