'''Codex Rehdigerianus''' is a medieval Latin [[manuscript]] of the four [[New Testament]] [[Gospels]], written on [[parchment]]. It is designated by ''l'' or by 11 in the [[Beuron Archabbey|Beuron]] numbering of [[Vetus Latina manuscripts#New Testament|Latin Bible Manuscripts]].{{r|LNT}} Using the study of comparative writing styles ([[palaeography]]), it has been dated to the 7th or 8th century.<ref name="Metzger">{{Cite book | first=Bruce Manning | last=Metzger | author-link=Bruce M.

<br />
== Description ==<br />
The manuscript is a [[codex]] (precursor to the modern [[book]] format), containing the text of the four New Testament Gospels written on 296 parchment [[folio]]s (592 pages) with some gaps: Matthew 1:1-2:15; Luke 11:28-37; John 1:1-16; 6:32-61; 11:56-12:10; 13:34-14:22; 15:3-15; 16:13-21:25.<ref name="LNT">{{Cite book | first=Hugh A.

<br />
The Eusebian sections are written at the bottom of the pages, with their chapter numbers in the left margin;{{r|LNT}} however the canon numbers are absent.{{r|LNT|p=86}} The Eusebian sections at the bottom of the page are written between four decorative arches.{{r|LNT|p=200}} There are prologues and capitula (chapter) lists preceding the gospels of Mark and Luke (as the beginning of Matthew and John are missing, it is not able to determine whether they were present before them as well).{{r|LNT}} There were reports that the manuscript was destroyed in 1945, but these were incorrect.{{r|LNT}}<br />
<br />
The manuscript employs the use of the [[nomina sacra]] (certain names/titles considered sacred in [[Christianity]]), of which the nominative forms are as follows: {{overline|DS}} (''deus'' / ''God''), {{overline|DNS}} (''dominus'' / ''Lord''), {{overline|IHS}} (''Iesus'' / ''Jesus''), {{overline|XRS}} (''christus'' / ''Christ''), {{overline|SRS}} (''spiritus'' / ''Spirit''), {{overline|SCS}} (''sanctus'' / ''Holy''), {{overline|SCORUM}} (''sanctorum'' / ''Saints''), {{overline|DAD}} (''David''), {{overline|ISL}} (''Israel''), {{overline|HLM}} (''Jerusalem'').{{r|HJV|pp=XIX-XX}} The [[nomen sacrum]] {{overline|XRS}} is unusual compared to the standard at the time which employed {{overline|XPC}} (corresponding to the Greek {{overline|χρς}} / ''chi rho sigma'').{{r|LNT|p=191}}<br />

The text of the manuscript is an admixture of the [[Vetus Latina]] (Old Latin) text of the four Gospels contaminated by [[Vulgate]] readings.{{r|LNT|Metzger}} The gospels of Matthew and Mark are close to the vulgate, with Luke and John having the most Old Latin text affiliation.{{r|LNT|p=87}} The [[Pericope Adulterae]] was originally omitted, however a corrector in the ninth century wrote the missing verses (John 7:53-8:11) in the margin; the text however is the Latin Vulgate version, and not an Old Latin version.{{r|LNT|HJV|p1=87|p2=277}}<ref>{{Cite book | first1=Jennifer | last1=Knust | first2=Tommy | last2=Wasserman | title=To Cast the First Stone: The Transmission of a Gospel Story | page=215 | year=2019 | publisher=Princton University Press | location=Princton; Oxford | isbn=978-0-691-20312-6}}</ref> The words "Oice nos..." and following sentences are very similar to the [[Lord's Prayer]] in [[Slavic languages]].{{Citation needed|date=March 2009}}<br />
<br />
In Matthew 27:9 it has the unique variant ''{{lang|la|Tunc impletum est, quod dictum est per Esaia prophetam, dicentem}}'' (''fulfilled what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying''). This variant is supported only by Greek [[Minuscule 21]]. Another manuscripts have "Jeremiah" or omit the prophet's name.<ref>NA26, p. 81.</ref><ref name="HJV">{{Cite book | first=Heinrich Joseph | last=Vogels | title=Codex Rehdigeranus: Die vier Evangelien nach der lateinischen Handschrift | trans-title=Codex Rehdigerauns: The Four Gospels according to the Latin Manuscript | page=83 | year=1913 | publisher=Auguste Godenne | location=Rome | url=https://archive.org/details/codexrehdigeranu0000unse/page/n5/mode/2up}}</ref><br />
