This #codex is not only a precious remnant of Late Antiquity but is also one of the earliest and most important specimens of the complete Christian #Bible. Created at the end of the 8th century, likely in Constantinople, it was regarded as "the oldest extant copy of the Bible" before the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1946/47. The text is written in uncial script without any spacing or punctuation and was likely created by a team of skilled artists. Various amendments and notations date were added over the centuries, and the text was partially restored by a masterful hand during the 15th century when it also came into the possession of the Vatican Library, where it remains today.
