The manuscript consists of 405 leaves, measuring 27 x 20 cms. Each page contains 26 lines. The text is written in an uncial hand of the 6-7th century, probably written in the north of Italy. The Greek text appears at each opening on the left-hand page, and the Latin on the right.

Both texts are written in Roman characters. A few lacunae (Ps. 1. 1—2.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Codex Veronensis (Psalter)” as greek manuscript of the Septuagint. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA productive route into publication, performance and collection histories when the underlying object or edition remains clearly identified. The current 110-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Codex, Veronensis and Psalter can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as greek manuscript of the Septuagint. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q23979127. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
