Codex Dublinensis is a Greek uncial manuscript of the New Testament Gospels, written on parchment. It is designated by Z or 035 in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts, and ε 26 in the von Soden numbering of New Testament manuscripts. Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), it has been dated to the 6th century CE.[1] The manuscript has several gaps.[2]
It is a palimpsest manuscript, the upper layer containing excerpts from commentaries by early Church fathers.
