Codex Borgianus (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Codex Borgianus, designated by T or 029 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), 5 (von Soden), is a Greek and Sahidic uncial manuscript of the Gospels, dated palaeographically to the 5th century. Name of the codex came from its former owners. The codex contains 17 parchment leaves (26 cm by 21 cm), with fragments of the Gospel of Luke 22-23 and Gospel of John 6-8. The manuscript is written in two columns per page, 26-33 lines per page, with the Greek and Sahidic on facing pages. Lines are very short, only 6, 7, 8, and 9 letters in lines. It is written in large letters compressed only on the edge. The letters are square. Tischendorf suggested the scribe was a Copt, because the letters often show Coptic forms. There is no notation of sections or other divisions. The shapes of alpha and iota are specially noticeable. It has not accents and breathings.
