Fragmenta lipsiensia
The Fragmenta Lipsiensia ( Leipzig fragments , also Codex Lipsiensis , Codex Tischendorfianus II , Siglum K after Rahlfs ) are fragments of a parchment manuscript in Greek from the 7th or 8th century. They consist of 22 leaves, 17 of which were overwritten with an Arabic text in the 9th century ( palimpsest ). The fragments contain parts from Numbers (Numbers), Deuteronomy (Deuteronomy), the Book of Joshua and the Book of Judges .
The leaves were found in 1844 by Konstantin von Tischendorf in the Saba monastery between Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. Today they are in the Leipzig University Library , signature Cod. Table 2, and in the Russian National Library in St. Petersburg , signature Cod. Gr. 28.
