Codex Vaticanus, B
Alternative Title:
Old and New Testament Greek ('Codex Vaticanus', B)
Description: This celebrated manuscript of the Bible, contains the entire text of the Old and New Testament, and has been preserved in the Vatican Library since the 15th century. The manuscript is not complete; some sections were reconstructed in the 15th century (Gn 1,1-46,28; Sal 106,27-138,6 [= 105,27-137,6]; part of the Letter to the Hebrews and Revelations: the text is in fact interrupted at p. 1518 at Hebrews 9, 14). Originally the manuscript was without ornamentation. Simple head bands and initial letters were added later, probably during the 10th century, at the beginning of the individual books of the Bible.
