Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus (The Ephraem Codex) - 5th Century Palimpsest Manuscript Digital PDF

Expand your collection of ancient biblical texts with one of the most fascinating textual discoveries in history: the Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus (commonly known as Codex C).

Dating back to the 5th century, this remarkable artifact is a palimpsest—an ancient manuscript where the original biblical Greek text was washed off in the 12th century and overwritten with the Greek translations of the sermons of St. Ephraem the Syrian. Thanks to the meticulous work of 19th-century scholars using chemical reagents, the hidden underlying biblical text was successfully recovered.
