Codex Vaticanus (Gregory-Aland no. S or 028), also called Codex Guelpherbytanus, is one of the earliest Greek manuscripts of the Gospels which can be dated to a specific year instead of an estimated range. The colophon of the codex lists the date as 949. This manuscript is one of the four oldest New Testament manuscripts dated in this manner, and the only dated uncial. Written in two columns per page, 27 lines per page.
The codex contains 235 leaves (36cm by 24cm), with complete text of the four Gospels. The writing is large and compressed, and appears Slavic. The codex is located in Rome (Bibl. Vat. Gr. 354).
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.
