History

Fragments of this code were independently discovered at different times and numbered 029, 0113, 0125 and 0139. Meanwhile, all the parts are labeled only with 029. Together, they provide 23 pages. "It seems that the ignorant monk who brought this manuscript from Egypt to Europe, so little of its value was aware that he lost most of the leaves ". A portion of the Codex with 13 leaves is preserved in the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana as Codex Borgianus Copticus 109. More 3 sheets are located in the National Library in Paris under the signature Copt. 129.9, fol. 49.65; 129,10, fol. 209, two leaves under the signature M 664A at the Morgan Library & Museum in New York.

The text of the Code 029 has been carefully edited by AA Giorgi in 1789. Andreas Birch presented the Greek text of 029 together.
