Codex Sangermanensis I


The Codex Sangermanensis I, designated by g1 or 7 (in Beuron system), is a Latin manuscript, dated AD 822 of portions of the Old Testament and the New Testament.

It is one of only two exemplars of the Vetus Latina version of 1 Esdras, the other being Codex Colbertinus. Sangermanensis, however, only witnesses to the first four chapters, since it ends at 5:3.
