La Bibbia amiatina = The Codex Amiatinus, 2000: label (manuscript Firenze, Biblioteca medicea laurenziana, Amiatino 1) History screen (ms. contains the complete text of the Bible; it was produced at the beginning of the 8th century in the monasteries of Northumbria; it was preserved at the Abbey of San Salvatore on Monte Amiata until 1782, when it was transferred to the Biblioteca medicea laurenziana) Wikipedia, September 3, 2021 (The Codex Amiatinus is the earliest surviving complete manuscript of the Latin Vulgate version of the Christian Bible. It was produced around 700 in the north-east of England, at the Benedictine monastery of Monkwearmouth-Jarrow in the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Northumbria, now sunderland and taken to Italy as a gift for Pope Gregory II in 716. It was one of three giant single-volume Bibles then made at Monkwearmouth-Jarrow, and is the earliest complete one-volume Latin Bible to survive, only the León palimpsest being older; and the oldest Bible where all the Books of the Bible present what would be their Vulgate texts. It is named after the location in which it was found in modern times, Mount Amiata in Tuscany, at the Abbazia di San Salvatore and is now kept at Florence in the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana (Amiatino 1)) |
