The 2,000-year-old papyrus was discovered at the Hamburg State and University Library in Hamburg , Germany .
It is thought to be the earliest surviving copy of the Infancy Gospel of Thomas - a book detailing Jesus of Nazareth's youth that was excluded from the Bible .
Researchers said the story was likely written as part of a writing exercise in a school or religious community in the 4th or 5th Century.
Dr Macedo and Berkes will produce a critical edition and commentary on the manuscript.
They will reassess the style and language of the IGT text.
'The fragment is of extraordinary interest for research,' Berkes said in a statement.
'On the one hand, because we were able to date it to the 4th to 5th century, making it the earliest known copy,' he continued.
