Codex Sangermanensis (Gregory-Aland no. Dabs1 or 06) is a tenth century diglot manuscript. It is best known for its copy of the Pauline Epistles. It is particularly notable as one of two such copies which display clear evidence of having had Claromontanus as exemplar. It is now part of the Russian National Library (Gr. 20) collection in Saint Petersburg. Codex Sangermanensis was composed in a coarse, large, thick hand.
Because it is a diglot, Sangermanensis is also valuable for the study of the Latin bibles, namely the Vulgate and the Vetus Latina. The Stuttgart Vulgate cites it as G in the New and Old Testaments and as S in the appendix.
It is one of only two exemplars of the Vetus Latina version of 1 Esdras,[1] the other being Codex Colbertinus. Sangermanensis, however, only witnesses to the first four chapters, since it ends at 5:3.
It was an important exemplar in the textual history of 2 Esdras. The seventy missing verses from chapter 7 of 2 Esdras correspond to a single page torn out of Sangermanensis. This lacuna propagated into print in early editions of the bible such as the Clementine Vulgate and the King James Version. These "missing verses" were not available in print until Bensly and James published a critical edition of 4 Ezra in 1895.
