The Alexandrian Codex.

The “Alexandrian Codex,” often referred to in Scriptural studies, is one of the most valuable and important manuscripts of sacred writ known to be in existence. It is written in Greek onparehmeut in finely formed uncial letters, and is without accents, marks of aspiration, or spaces between the words. Its probable date is the latter part of the Sixth Century. As early as 1098 it is known to have been in the library of the Patriarch of Alexandria. It was sent to England as a present to Charles I. by Cyrillus Lycaris in IG2B. and is now in the British Museum. —fSt.Louis Republican.
