CODEX CLAROMONTANUS

A 6th-century codex (siglum DP), the leading authority for the so-called Western Text of the Epistles. The codex, whose origin is unknown, contains parallel texts, which have been repeatedly corrected, of Greek and Old Latin on opposing pages. The manuscript has the epistles of Paul, including Hebrews, with the exception of Rom. 1:1-7, 27-30, and 1 Cor. 14:13-22, of which the Greek text is lost. The codex contains 533 leaves, each page measuring 24.6 by 19.5 cm. (9.7 by 7.7 in.), with one column of 21 lines per page.

Codex Claromontanus often agrees with Codex Augiensis and Codex Boernerianus. Unlike Codex Bezae, the text on the Latin side of Claromontanus is not always dependent upon the Greek. With a few exceptions, the Latin text is remarkably similar to that of Lucifer of Cagliari in the 4th century.

Both Codex Claromontanus and Codex Bezae were once owned by Theodore Beza, and they probably belonged together. As indicated by Beza on the back of the title page, Claromontanus was found in the monastery at Clermont-en-Beauvoisis; it is now housed in the National Library at Paris.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
