The Bruce Codex (Latin: Codex Brucianus) is a codex that contains Coptic, Arabic, and Ethiopic manuscripts. It contains rare Gnostic works; the Bruce Codex is the only known surviving copy of the Books of Jeu and another work simply called Untitled Text or the Untitled Apocalypse. In 1769, James Bruce purchased the codex in Upper Egypt.
Between Woide's transcription of the codex and the 1970s, seven leaves disappeared altogether, and there is significant damage throughout the manuscripts. [10] Among the texts in the Bruce Codex were the Untitled Text and the Books of Jeu. The manuscript in the Bruce Codex is a Coptic [11] translation of an older Greek original. [4]
It is believed that the Sahidic Coptic of the Codex version is a translation, however, and the original was written in Koine Greek in the early 3rd century. This estimate is because the Pistis Sophia mentions the two books of Jeu twice (158.18 and 228.35), suggesting that the Books of Jeu were written before it, and the Pistis Sophia is dated ...

JobXXXVIII, Mount Athos; Megisti Lavra Monastery, Codex B. 100, 12th century.

The quantity of Job illustrations survived in the fifteen manuscripts exceeds 1800 pictures.
As such, Hatch argued the manuscript should be dated to about 1000. [4] Kenyon, [2] Kurt Aland [5] and biblical scholar Bruce Metzger dated it to the 9th century. [7] The manuscript is now dated by the Institute for New Testament Textual Research (INTF) to the 9th century. [8] The codex is currently located in the National Library of France (Gr ...
Page from Codex Sinaiticus with text of Matthew 6:4–32 Alexandrinus – Table of κεφάλαια (table of contents) to the Gospel of Mark. The great uncial codices or four great uncials are the only remaining uncial codices that contain (or originally contained) the entire text of the Bible (Old and New Testament) in Greek.
The manuscript is in fragmented condition, with two remaining illuminated pages decorated with interlace. [3] The text of the codex is mixed. [1] The text of Matthew is Old Latin, similar to that in Codex Usserianus I. The text of Mark, Luke, and John is very near to the Vulgate. [4]
