Codex Corbeiensis II

The Codex Corbeiensis II, designated by ff2 or 8 (in the Beuron system), is a 5th-century Latin Gospel Book. The text, written on vellum, is a version of the old Latin. The manuscript contains 190 parchment folio with the text of the four Gospels with lacunae (Matt 1:1-11:16; Luke 9:48; 10:20.21; 11:45-12:6.7; John 17:15-18:9; 20:22-21:8).Bruce M. Metzger, The Early Versions of the New Testament, Oxford University Press, 1977, p. 296. Written in a beautiful round uncial hand.

Gospels follow in the sequence: Matthew, Luke, John, Mark.

The Latin text of the codex is a representative Western text-type in itala recension. The text is akin to preserved in Codex Vercellensis and Codex Veronensis.Bruce M. Metzger, The Text of the New Testament: Its Transmission, Corruption, and Restoration, Oxford University Press 2005, p. 102.
