Digital Images of Codex Bobiensis Online

I’m not sure when this happened, but the surviving folia of Codex Bobiensis (or Bobbiensis, CLA 4 465) have been photographed and the images made available online here. Codex Bobiensis is a copy of the Gospel According to Mark and the Gospel According to Matthew in Latin, probably produced in North Africa at some point in the late fourth or early fifth century.

The surviving leaves of this codex present a fascinating set of early variant readings in Mark and Matthew that formed the topic of a 2021 article by Matthew Larsen.

For the basics about the codex and a transcription, one can consult Wordsworth, Sanday, and White, Portions of the Gospels according to St. Mark and St. Matthew from the Bobbio ms. (1886). It’s good to see this manuscript online.

    Excellent news! Finding colour images (or any decent images) of many of the VL manuscipts is a cause for celebration! Be nice when more of the VL or Vulgate manuscripts get digitised to be able to check transcriptions etc.
