Description
It is the earliest known manuscript of these epistles', though a few verses of Jude are in a fragment 78 (P. Oxy. 2684).[2]
This document contains also the Nativity of Mary, the apocryphal correspondence of Paul to the Corinthians, the eleventh ode of Solomon, Melito's Homily on the Passover, a fragment of a hymn, the Apology of Phileas, and Psalm 33 and 34.[3] Written on 72 leaves (14.5 cm, by 16 cm), in 16-20 lines per page. The manuscript is written by a documentary hand.[3]
The nomina sacra are written with abbreviations.
Text
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. According to Aland in 1-2 Peter it has normal text, in Jude free text, both with certain peculiarities. Aland placed it into I Category.[1] It is close to the Codex Vaticanus and Codex Alexandrinus.[3]
Currently it is housed at the Vatican Library (P. Bodmer VIII) at Rome.[1][4]
