The Codex Alexandrinus is a 5th century manuscript of the Greek Bible, containing the majority of the Septuagint and the New Testament. It is one of the earliest and most complete manuscripts of the Bible.
It derives its name from Alexandria where it resided for a number of years before it was brought by Cyril Lucaris from Alexandria to Constantinople.
Today, it rests along with Codex Sinaiticus in one of the showcases in the Ritblat Gallery of the British Library.
As the text came from several different traditions, different parts of the codex are not of equal textual value. The text has been edited several times since the 18th century.
Year: 400-440 AD
IMPORTANT: All Scripture text has context and background. Scripture should never be read literally or in isolation. Always seek clarification from religious scholars and teachers. In general, Scripture adheres to four principles: (1) Literal Meaning - What the Scripture says (2) Historical Setting - The story events; how the Scripture was understood in its time (3) Grammar - The surrounding sentence and paragraph; textual context (4) Synthesis - A comparison with similar Scripture to give a better contextual understanding
