Permalink Codex Boernerianus (G, 012). DATE: circa A.D. 850. CONTAINS: Pauline epistles Beuron 77. A Greek/Latin bilingual MS. Probably copied or created in the St. Gallen monastery, and is (most likely) part of the Gospel Codex 037 [shown below]. Latin text is Old Latin, Greek text seems to be a translation of the Latin side (so thinks yours truly). Now lies in the Dresden Library, Germany. In my opinion, this is the best of the Latin bilingual MSS of the Pauline epistles, with a good O.L. text too. Complete manuscript available for viewing on the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts website [www.CSNTM.org]. The MS, in its present water damaged condition, is also fully available for viewing at/on the Dresden website. http://digital.slub-dresden.de
