According to <a href="/facts/Kurt_Aland/dxIvyah1">Kurt</a> and <a href="/facts/Barbara_Aland/El9BoDDQ">Barbara Aland</a> it agrees with the Byzantine standard text 43 times, and 11 times with the Byzantine when it has the same reading as the original text. It agrees 89 times with the original text against the Byzantine. It has 70 independent or distinctive readings. Alands placed it in <a href="/facts/Categories_of_New_Testament_manuscripts/WvVDXBzs">Category II</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> </p> <h3>Textual features</h3> <p>In Romans 12:11 it reads καιρω for κυριω, the reading of the manuscript is supported by <a href="/facts/Codex_Claromontanus/lRlE2w30">Codex Claromontanus</a>*, <a href="/facts/Codex_Boernerianus/smrYMJyj">Codex Boernerianus</a> <a href="/facts/Minuscule_5/CoPtt0rJ">5</a> it d,g, <a href="/facts/Origen/4o9sw2RQ">Origen</a>lat.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> </p><p>In 1 Corinthians 2:4 the Latin text supports reading πειθοι σοφιας (<i>plausible wisdom</i>), as <a href="/facts/Minuscule_35/RjUIUWLt">35</a> and <a href="/facts/Codex_Boernerianus/smrYMJyj">Codex Boernerianus</a> (Latin text).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> </p><p>In 1 Corinthians 7:5 it reads τη προσευχη (<i>prayer</i>) along with <a href="/facts/Papyrus_11/JcKG3psc">𝔓11</a>, <a href="/facts/Papyrus_46/GPWVBVA4">𝔓46</a>, א*, A, <a href="/facts/Codex_Vaticanus/PKR628K8">B</a>, C, D, G, P, <a href="/facts/Codex_Athous_Lavrensis/g1ncvG0B">Ψ</a>, <a href="/facts/Minuscule_6/AUVfBLVD">6</a>, <a href="/facts/Minuscule_33/uxShNDPH">33</a>, <a href="/facts/Minuscule_81/WhLWMAvH">81</a>, <a href="/facts/Minuscule_104/hCqVvnz2">104</a>, <a href="/facts/Minuscule_181/k5s3pcc9">181</a>, <a href="/facts/Minuscule_629/obHXgkMa">629</a>, 630, 1739, 1877, 1881, 1962, it vg, cop, arm, eth.

Also, lacunae omissions are paralleled to the sister manuscript <a href="/facts/Codex_Boernerianus/smrYMJyj">Codex Boernerianus</a>. According to <a href="/facts/Johann_Jakob_Griesbach/p94RES4E">Griesbach</a>, Augiensis was recopied from Boernerianus. According to <a href="/facts/Constantin_von_Tischendorf/JAr6GMMs">Tischendorf</a>, two codices were recopied from the same manuscript. Scrivener enumerated 1982 differences between these two codices. Among textual scholars, there is a tendency to prefer Augiensis above Boernerianus. The codex is also similar to <a href="/facts/Codex_Claromontanus/lRlE2w30">Codex Claromontanus</a>, and again scholars favour the readings in Augiensis above those in Claromontanus. </p> <h2 id="history">History</h2> <p>Codex Augiensis is named after the monastery of <a href="/facts/Reichenau_Abbey/WVYdCfEF">Augia Dives</a> in <a href="/facts/Lake_Constance/1PpRuGVr">Lake Constance</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11"><sup>11</sup></a> In 1718 <a href="/facts/Richard_Bentley/arg0FAAo">Richard Bentley</a> (1662–1742) was its owner.
