Codex
Vaticanus. This manuscript also dates from about 350 A.D. It
contains the Old Testament Septuagint translation with most of the Apocrypha,
and the New Testament. Part of the epistle to the Hebrews, the Pastorals,
Philemon, and Revelation are missing. The Codex is written on very fine vellum
leaves, 10 by 10 1/2 inches. It consists of 617 leaves in the Old Testament and
142 in the New. Its early history is unknown. It was catalogued in the Vatican
Library in 1481. It is generally considered to be the oldest and best
manuscript of the New Testament.
