Codex Vercellensis 158
Codex Vercellensis 158 is a Latin composite manuscript on parchment , which is in the Biblioteca Capitolare in Vercelli . It is an uncial from the 6th or 7th century. Gundermann, however, gives the 5th or 6th century. It contains colophones in large uncials in red and black, set off with zigzag lines. Red ink was used for the first three lines of every book and for the first line of a chapter. The size of the pages is 24.5 × 22.5 cm and the pages contain 23 to 24 lines. The manuscript probably comes from Spain. The margin area contains annotations in Visigoth script and other uncials and italics from the 8th century. The codex comprises 373 folios. The Codex already had gaps in the 8th century; Folio 360 to 363 were therefore replaced in the 8th century and are known as Cod. Verc. 158b signed. The writing is bound in booklets of eight folio.
