Codex Floriacensis
The Codex Floriacensis, designated by h in traditional system or by 55 in the Beuron system, is a 6th-century Latin manuscript of the New Testament. The text, written on vellum, is a palimpsest. Another name of the manuscript is "Fleury Palimpsest" or "Palimpsestus Floriacensis". It is one of the eight Old-Latin manuscripts with text of Apocalypse.
Description.
The manuscript contains the text of the New Testament except the four Gospels and the Pauline epistles with numerous lacunae.
Monte Cassino impugned the claims of Fleury, but without ever showing any relics to make good their contention that they possess the body of the founder.
