Codices Ambrosiani

This article is about the Gothic-language manuscripts. For other manuscripts from the Biblioteca Ambrosiana, see Codex Ambrosianus (disambiguation).

The Codices Ambrosiani A–E are five biblical manuscripts dating to the 6th–11th centuries CE. They reside in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan, as well as in Turin and Vatican City. They are written by different authors and use different alphabets. The codices A to D contain scattered passages from the Old Testament (Nehemiah) and the New Testament (including parts of the Gospels and the Epistles), whereas the codex E contains the commentaries known as Skeireins. The contents of the codices are rare survivals in the Gothic language.
