also known as Codex Sinopensis; Gregory-Aland O; Gregory-Aland 023; Sinope Gospels; 023; Sinopensis

TM Gallery info The Codex Sinopensis (TM 61750) is a 6th century New Testament manuscript, preserving part of the gospel of Matthew. It was purchased in 1899 in Sinope (northern Turkey), allegedly by a French officer from an old Greek woman, and is now in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris.
The manuscript is one of few so-called purple codices, luxury manuscripts in which the parchment is died purple and the lettering is normally silver or gold. Some of the narratives are illustrated with miniatures, such as Jesus healing the blind men of Jericho (shown on the image above), or Salome receiving the head of John the Baptist.
