Codex Bodleianus Geneseos

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Codex Bodleianus Geneseos or Bodleian Genesis (Siglum E, No. 509 according to Rahlfs ) is a fragment of a parchment manuscript from the 9th or 10th century. It contains parts from the first book of Moses (Genesis) 1: 1–42, 18 in Greek . There are 29 leaves preserved, which are described in Uncials in two columns with 37 to 44 lines each.

The manuscript also includes a sheet of parchment, the text of which follows the fragment and is now in the Cambridge University Library , Ms. Add. 1879.7, located, as well as numerous other sheets of the Russian National Library in Saint Petersburg , signature Cod. Gr. 52 (62), and the British Museum in London , Ms Add. 20002, which continue the text up to 1 Kings 16:28. The parts of the Bodleian Genesis are written in capital letters, the back parts in lower case , the sheet from Cambridge attests to the transition.

The fragments from Oxford and London were brought back "from the east" by Konstantin von Tischendorf in 1853 and published in 1857. In 1859 he brought the remaining sheets with him. The fragments of the Codex Bodleianus are in the Bodleian Library in Oxford , call number Auct. T. infr. II, 1.
