history

Fragments of this codex were discovered independently at different times and numbered 029, 0113, 0125 and 0139. In the meantime, all parts are only designated with 029. Together they add up to 23 pages. "It seems that the ignorant monk who brought this manuscript to Europe from Egypt was so ignorant of its worth that he lost most of the pages." Part of the codex with 13 pages is kept in the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana as Codex Borgianus Copticus 109 . Another 3 sheets are in the National Library in Paris under the signature Copt. 129.9, fol. 49.65; 129.10, fol. 209, two sheets under the signature M 664A in the Morgan Library & Museum in New York.

The text of Code 029 was carefully edited by AA Giorgi in 1789. Andreas Birch compiled the Greek text of 029.
