The Codex Brixianus (Brescia, Biblioteca Civica Queriniana, s.n.), designated by f, is a 6th-century Latin Gospel Book which was probably produced in Italy.

Description

The manuscript contains 419 folios. The text, written on purple dyed vellum in silver ink, is a version of the old Latin translation which seems to be connected with the Gothic translation of Ulfilas. At the base of each page is an arcade very similar to that found in the Codex Argenteus. Furthermore, the Latin text shows readings which seem to be influenced by the Gothic Bible translation.

Text

It has some lacunae ({{bibleverse|Matthew|8:16-26|KJV}}; {{bibleverse|Mark|12:5-13:32|KJV}}; {{bibleverse-nb|Mark|14:53-62|KJV}}; {{bibleverse-nb|Mark|14:70-16:20|KJV}}).{{cite book

It was named Brixianus after Brescia in Italy, where it is housed.

In Luke 7:31, it contains the phrase "tunc ergo iesus dixit".{{Cite book|last=White|first=Henry Julian|url=https://archive.org/details/nouumtestamentum01whit|title=Nouum Testamentum Domini nostri Jesu Christi latine, secundum editionem Sancti Hieronymi|last2=Wordsworth|first2=John|last3=Sparks|first3=Hedley Frederick Davis|date=1889|publisher=Oxonii, Clarendon|others=Robarts - University of Toronto}}

In John 11:41, alone of all the Old Latin Gospels, it had in the original hand the truncated reading "ubi fuerat", a translation of ου ην, the reading of A, K, P, 0211, 0250, f1, 22, 579, al. This matches the Gothic reading "þarei was."
