60 CODEX ALEXANDRINUS, Facsimile of the; Old and New Testament, in Greek, 4 vols. folio, complete in absolute facsimile, produced by order of the Trustees of the British Museum, printed in photolithography, back and front, in portfolios, £30. 1883

Copies of the First Volume (comprising Genesis to Chronicles), price £9; and of the volume containing the facsimile of the New Testament and Clementine Epistles, price £7, are still on sale.

"With the modern processes of photography at their command, the trustees of the British Museum have reproduced, by the best possible method, this invaluable Codex. The volume of the New Testament was issued in 1879; and, since then, have appeared in succession the three volumes into which the Old Testament is divided. The entire manuscript consists of upwards of 1500 pages.

"The title of this ancient Greek manuscript of the Bible, which is by common consent ascribed to the fifth century, is derived from the fact that it belonged to the Patriarchal Chamber of Alexandria as far back as the beginning of the 14th century, as appears from a note in Arabic of that period inscribed on the first page of Genesis. Another note, also in Arabic of the same time, records the tradition that the manuscript was written by the hand of the martyr Thecla-a tradition, however, which need not be seriously considered. Whether the Codex was preserved at Alexandria earlier than the 14th century there is nothing to show; but the evidence of some of the writing points to an Egyptian origin, and we may assume that no city of Egypt would be more likely than Alexandria to be its birthplace. When Cyril Lucar, Patriarch of Alexandria, was promoted to Constantinople, in 1621, he took the manuscript with him, and presented it, through our Ambassador, Sir Thomas Roe, as a gift to King Charles I, in 1627. From that date it remained in the Royal Library, until 1757, when it was transferred with the rest of the Royal manuscripts to the newly-founded British Museum.

"The autotype edition which is now completed is an excellent one, faithfully reproducing the manuscript, page for page, in full size. At a comparitively moderate cost this true likeness of the Codex Alexandrinus will find its way to the different libraries of Europe and America and be welcomed as the best possible representative of the original."The Times, August 21, 1884.

The Codex Vaticanus and the Codex Sinaiticus were reproduced by Typography, a process liable to error.
