[[File:New York fragment from codex 029.PNG|thumb|Luke 18:37-42a in codex (facsimile)]]

The Greek text of this [[codex]] is a secondary representative of the [[Alexandrian text-type]] (named also Egyptian text) with a mixture of the [[Byzantine text-type|Byzantine]] readings. [[Kurt Aland]] placed it in [[Categories of New Testament manuscripts#Category II|Category II]].<ref>[[Kurt Aland]] and Barbara Aland, ''The Text of the New Testament...'', pp. 113, 160.</ref> The Alexandrian text of the Gospel of John stands in close relationship to the Codex Vaticanus, and [[Papyrus 75|P75]].<ref>[[Bruce M. Metzger]], [[Bart D. Ehrman]], ''The Text of the New Testament: Its Transmission, Corruption and Restoration'', Oxford University Press, 2005, p. 80.</ref>

The text of [[Christ's agony at Gethsemane|Luke 22:43-44]] is omitted, as in codices [[Papyrus 75|p75]], א*, [[Codex Alexandrinus|A]], [[Codex Vaticanus|B]], 1071.<ref>UBS3, p. 305</ref>

It does not contain John 5:4 (0125) or the [[Pericope Adulterae]] ([[Jesus and the woman taken in adultery|John 7:53-8:11]]).<ref>UBS3, pp. 337, 356.</ref>

It reads βηθαβαρα in John 1:28 and βηθσαιδα in John 5:2.

== History ==
The manuscript came from the [[White Monastery]]. It once belonged to Cardinal [[Stefano Borgia]], hence the name of the codex.

Fragments of the codex were discovered independently at separate times and were numbered 029, 0113, 0125, and 0139. Together they have 23 leaves. "It appears that the ignorant monk who brought this manuscript with him from Egypt to Europe, was so unaware of its value, that he lost the greater part of the leaves".<ref>[[Samuel Prideaux Tregelles|S. P. Tregelles]], "An Introduction to the Critical study and Knowledge of the Holy Scriptures", London 1856, p. 180</ref>

The text of Codex 029 was carefully edited in 1789 by A. A. Giorgi.<ref>A. A. Giorgi, ''Fragmentum evangelii S. Johannis Graecum Copto-Sahidicum'', Rome 1789.</ref> The manuscript was examined by [[Andreas Birch|Birch]], who collated the Greek text of 029. Birch gave this description of the codex:
<blockquote>
Codex in membranis scriptus est, charactere unciali quadro, graeco textui adjecta est versio coptica. Vehementer sane dolendum, particulam tam exiguam eximini codicis servatam esse, ex quo, si integrum aetas tulisset, plurima ad textus emendationem peti potuissent.<ref>A. Birch, ''[https://archive.org/details/variaelectiones00bircgoog Variae Lectiones ad Textum IV Evangeliorum]'', Haunie 1801, p. LVII</ref>
</blockquote>
[[Henri Hyvernat]] purchased two pages in 1912 in Cairo for [[John Pierpont Morgan]].

== Present location ==

A few leaves from [[Uncial 070]], formerly designated by Ta, were wrongly listed by Tregelles as a part of the same codex to which Borgianus belonged.

The codex is located at the [[Vatican Library]] (Borgia Coptic 109), in [[New York City]] ([[The Morgan Library & Museum|Pierpont Morgan]] M 664A), and in [[Paris]] ([[Bibliothèque nationale de France|BnF]] Copt. 129).<ref name = Aland/><ref name = INTF>{{Cite web |url=http://intf.uni-muenster.de/vmr/NTVMR/ListeHandschriften.php?ObjID=20029 |title=Liste Handschriften |publisher=Institute for New Testament Textual Research |access-date=16 March 2013 |location=Münster}}</ref>
