'''Codex Washingtonianus''' is a [[New Testament]] manuscript displayed at the [[Smithsonian Institution|Smithsonian Institute]] in Washington. It is a [[Greek]] uncial text that includes all four [[The Gospels|Gospels]], as well as fragments of the [[epistle]]s. It was produced around AD 400. It was purchased in [[Egypt]] by Charles Lang Freer in 1906, and it is owned by the Freer Gallery of Art. It consists of 210 leaves. It is believed to have been produced at a monastery near the [[pyramids]]. This makes it the only early Gospel manuscript whose place of origin is known. A unique feature of this manuscript is the "Freer Logion," an extended insert that follows Mark 16:14. The text type is well regarded, but the poor condition of the document limits its usefulness.
