A 5th-century vellum codex in Greek containing most of the Old Testament Septuagint, the New Testament (with some lacunae), 1-2 Clement, and originally the Psalms of Solomon. Presented to Charles I of England in 1627 by Patriarch Cyril Lucaris of Constantinople. One of the four great uncial Bibles (with Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, and Ephraemi).
Why this matters
A primary witness to the text of the New Testament and the Septuagint, especially valuable for the Acts and the General Epistles where Vaticanus is missing material.
