Codex Vaticanus, designated by S or 028 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 1027 (von Soden), formerly it was called Codex Guelpherbytanus, is a Greek manuscripts of the four Gospels which can be dated to a specific year instead of an estimated range. The colophon of the codex lists the date as 949 (on folio 234 verso). This manuscript is one of the four oldest New Testament manuscripts dated in this manner, and the only dated uncial.^[1]

Description

The codex contains 235 parchment leaves (36 cm by 24 cm), with complete text of the four Gospels. It was written in two columns per page, 27 lines per page,^[2] 15-17 letters per line. Written in large, oblong, and compressed uncial letters.^[3]

It contains Epistula ad Carpianum, lists of κεφαλαια, subscriptions, and stichoi. The Ammonian sections and the Eusebian Canons are given. It contains many later corrections (e.g. Luke 8:15), and margin notes (e.g. Matthew 27:16-17) predominantly added by later hand. It also includes neumes, and it is one of the oldest manuscript with neumes.^[3] The writing is large oblong and compressed, and appears Slavic.

Luke 22:43-44, John 5:4, and Pericope Adultera (John 7:53-8:11) are marked by obelus as questionable textes.^[3]

The manuscript was described and collated by Bianchini^[5] and collated with some errors by Birch in 1781-1783,^[6] but collators in his day rarely noticed orthographical forms Tischendorf in 1866 corrected collation of Birch.
