Codex Vaticanus 2066, designed by 046 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), α 1070 (von Soden), formerly it was known also as Codex Basilianus, previously it was designated by Br or B2.[1] It is a Greek uncialmanuscript of the New Testament written on vellum. The manuscript paleographically has been assigned to the 10th century by the INTF, though some palaeographers proposed the 9th century. Scrivener proposed even the 8th century.[2]
The codex contains the complete text of the Book of Revelation on 20 parchment leaves (27.5 cm by 19 cm), along with much non-biblical material (homilies of Basil the Great, Gregory of Nyssa and others).
The text is written in one column per page, 35 lines per page,[3][4] in about 36 letters per line.[5] The uncial letter of the codex are written in a peculiar form with special attention. "The uncials being of a peculiar kind, leaning a little to the right; they hold a sort of middle place between square and oblong characters.... The breathings and accents are primâ manu, and pretty correct..."[6]
