(CODEX CAMPIXNUS, so called from the Abbe des Camps, who presented it to Louis XIV in 1707), a beautiful little Greek MS. of the four Gospels in very neat uncial letters' supposed to belong to the ninth or tenth century. It was used by Wetstein, re-examined by Scholz, copied by Tisclhendorf, and collated by Tregelles. It contains many good readings. Besides the indications of sectionsin the margin, there are also scholia, some of them in the most minute writing. Besides accents and breathings, the words are marked with a musical notation. The MS. is now in the Imperial Librarty at Paris (where it is numbered 48), and is known as in of the Gospels. — Scrivener, Introd. to N.T. p. 110. (See MANUSCRIPTS, BIBLICAL).
