Codex Sangallensis, designated by Δ or 037 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 76 (von Soden), is a diglot Greek-Latin uncial manuscript of the four Gospels. Usually it is dated palaeographically to the 9th, only according to the opinions of few palaeographers to the 10th century. It was named by Scholz in 1830.
The codex contains 198 parchment leaves (actual size 23 cm by 18.5 cm). The text is written in one column per page, and 17-28 lines per page, in large semi-uncial letters.
The codex contains almost the complete text of the four Gospels with only one lacuna in John 19:17-35. The Latin text is written above the Greek (as Codex Boernerianus) and in the minuscule letters. It is decorated, but decorations were made by inartistic hand. The manuscript from which Sangallensis was copied was written stichometrically.
The text is divided according to Ammonian Sections, whose numbers are given at the margin, with references to the Eusebian Canons in Roman letters (written below Ammonian Section numbers). There are also τιτλοι (titles of chapters), given at the top of the pages.
It contains prolegomena, the Epistle of Jerome to Pope Damasus I, the Eusebian Canon Tables, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) both in Greek and Latin.
The texts of Mark 7:16 and 11:26 are omitted. The Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) is omitted, but a blank space was left.
