Codex Alexandrinusとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Codex Alexandrinus (London, British Library, MS Royal 1. D. V-VIII; Gregory-Aland no. A or 02, Soden δ 4) is a 5th century manuscript of the Greek Bible, containing the majority of the Septuagint and the New Testament. It received the name Alexandrinus from its having been brought by the Eastern Orthodox Patriarch Cyril Lucaris from Alexandria to Constantinople. Wettstein designated it in 1751 by letter A, and it was the first manuscript to receive thus a large letter as its designation.
