Codex Washingtonianus Contains A Passage Not Seen In Any Other Biblical Manuscript
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - The Codex Washingtonianus is the world's third oldest Bible, and it is at the Smithsonian's Freer Gallery of Art.
It comprises the four Gospels in the so-called Western order (Matthew, John, Luke, and Mark, as Dea).
It was acquired in Egypt by C.L. Freer, an American businessman and philanthropist (hence the Freer Gospels), in 1906 and is now in the Freer Gallery of Art of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Codex Washingtonianus is a 4th–5th-century manuscript, probably copied from several different sources.
This priceless ancient book is heavily guarded and rarely makes public appearances.
