The '''Codex Vaticanus''' is a Greek manuscript of Holy Scripture. The oldest complete [[bible]]s are the Codex Vaticanus and the Codex Sinaiticus. The codex Vaticanus was brought to the [[Vatican]] from [[Constantinople]] as a gift to the [[pope]] in the fourteenth century. A more common opinion maintains that it was written in [[Egypt]].
''In 1860 Alford, and in 1862 Cure, examined a select number of the readings of the Vatican Codex, and published the results of their labours in the first volume of Alford's Greek Testament.''
