Codex Bobiensis
open-in-new
<p>Codex Bobiensis or Bobbiensis is one of the oldest <a href="/facts/Vetus_Latina/48zE9rdC">Old Latin</a> <a href="/facts/Manuscript/A6XNmrTd">manuscripts</a> of the <a href="/facts/New_Testament/k066sDIn">New Testament</a>, albeit in fragmentary form. It is designated by the <a href="/facts/Siglum/mIjpNX2u">siglum</a> <i>k</i> or VL 1 in the Beuron register of Latin New Testament manuscripts. The text contains parts of the <a href="/facts/Gospel_of_Mark/3zoI9FgL">Gospel of Mark</a> (Mark 8:8-16:8) and <a href="/facts/Gospel_of_Matthew/37PUBgoR">Gospel of Matthew</a> (<a href="/facts/Matthew_1:1/My1lofbh">Matthew 1:1</a>-15:36). </p><p><i>Codex Bobiensis</i> is the only known example of the <i>shorter ending</i> added directly to <a href="/facts/Mark_16:8/F9E2Nl0C">Mark 16:8</a>, but not the "longer ending" through Mark 16:20. Using the study of comparartive writing styles (<a href="/facts/Palaeography/QsVXMhMj">palaeography</a>), it is assigned to the 4th or 5th century CE. </p>
