Sažetak
Codex Vaticanus Β is located in Vatican Librery at Rome and comes from 4th century and is considered the oldest extant vellum copy of Bible. The codex Β probably arrived to West 1483. year during the Council of Florence as a gift from the Byzantine Emperor John VIII to Pope Eugenius IV. (or is according somes already 1448. year by Pope Nicolas V. placed in Vatican Librery at Rome.) Originally, this codex was a complete Christian Bible with Old and New Testament. It is written on vellum, 10.8 inches on each side. The Old Testament is almost complete and consists of 617 leaves. The New Testament is made up of 142 leaves and is interrupted with Hebr 9,4, with notice that this letter follows immidiately after 2 Sol.
The copy is Alexandrinian »Neutral« text from the 3rd century. The text appears in three columns (in poetic parts in two columns) with 40 lines. The text is resting on the lines of writting. The letters are spaced uncial, there is no word separation and no punctuation. One scribe workes on the Old and another later on the New Testament. A corrector went through the manuscript, probably soon after its writting. Some other worked on the manuscript much later (10th or 11th century).
The presentation is limited on the facsimile, color edition in 450 numbered examplars. In valuable edition are conserved the rough edges, even cut of leaves and holes from original parchments. First is treated the same donation of the edition. Very fine facsimile reproduction is accompanied and enriched by the Prolegomena with 72 pages, where three top-leveled experts talk one after other on paleography and codicology (the autor P. Canart in his essay quotes Janko Šagi who already earlier outstandingly and expertly elaborated codex B) and separately about the books of the Old (P.-M. Bogaert) and the New Testament (S. Pisano).
