Codex Purpureus

In New Testament criticism,  a Byzantine Gospels made in the 6th century plays a celebrated role in debate because its texts do not always fit well with other ancient Greek text traditions. Codex N or the Codex Purpureus (sometimes also called the Codex Caesariensis) has been hacked apart (apparently by the Crusaders) with the sections now in many libraries.

The biggest section of the 231 extant folios is in St Petersburg, while the Vatican holds six folios, shelfmarked Vat.gr.2305, which have just arrived online. They contain Matthew 19:6-13; 20:6-22; 20:29-21:19. The parchment was formerly dyed purple, but the dye has faded. See Robert B Waltz and Wikipedia.
