Description-

The Codex Amiatinus, also known as the Jarrow Codex, is considered the best-preserved manuscript of the Latin Vulgate version[2] of the Christian Bible. It was produced around 700 in the northeast of England, at the Benedictine Monkwearmouth–Jarrow Abbey in the Kingdom of Northumbria, now South Tyneside. It was one of three giant single-volume Bibles then made at Monkwearmouth–Jarrow, and is the earliest complete one-volume Latin Bible to survive, only the León palimpsest being older. This codex was gifted to Pope Gregory II around 716 AD and is missing some of the apocryphal books i.e. Baruch and Letter of Jeremiah, which is common for western bibles. The Sinai Bible is suspected to have been written into codex around 325-360 AD. For a more accurate understanding of the necessary nuance required to understand numbering old bibles (scrolls), see my other link for a chart and breakdown.
