== Description ==<br />
The manuscript is a [[codex]] (precursor to the modern [[book]] format), containing the text of the entire Latin New Testament including the Epistle to the Laodiceans{{r|LNT}} written on 146 [[folio]]s (292 pages, sized 17.5 x 9.5cm).<ref name="LNT">{{Cite book | first=Hugh A. G. | last=Houghton | title=The Latin New Testament: A Guide to its Early History, Texts, and Manuscripts | page=213 | year=2016 | publisher=Oxford University Press | location=New York | isbn=978-0-19-874473-3}}</ref> The text is written in two columns of 40 lines in black ink.{{r|LNT}} There are decorations in red, green and blue ink, along with illustrations before each of the four gospels.{{r|LNT}}<br />
<br />
Before each gospel and Acts are Prologues and chapter lists, with all the other books only having Prologues.{{r|LNT}} Following the book of Acts is a note regarding the apocryphal ''[[Acts of Peter and Paul|Passion of Peter and Paul]]'', similar to that seen in [[Codex Complutensis I]].{{r|LNT}}<br />
<br />
== Text ==<br />
<br />
Its version of the four [[Gospel]]s and [[Acts of the Apostles|Book of Acts]] follows the [[Vetus Latina|Old Latin]], while the rest of the [[New Testament]] follows the [[Vulgate]].{{r|metz-evnt}} Thus the codex represents a mixed form of the Latin New Tesament text. It is generally a European Old Latin text, named ''Itala'', strongly interpolated by ''Afra''. Both text were contaminated by [[Jerome]]'s [[Vulgate]].{{r|metz-ehrman|metz-evnt}}<br />
<br />
In Matthew 27:38, the two robbers who were crucified on either side of Jesus are named as ''Zoatham'' (right-hand) and ''Camma'' (left-hand),<ref>{{cite web | first1=Johannes | last1=Belsheim | title=Codex colbertinus parisiensis [microform].
