Codex Sabaiticus can refer to a number of ancient manuscripts, most of which are currently housed in the Patriarchal Library in Jerusalem, that were originally preserved by "Sabaite" monks from the monastery of Mar Saba in what is today the Bethlehem Governorate of Palestine, in the West Bank.[1]
Each specific codex is denoted by a number, e.g. "Sabaiticus 242", but some authors may generically refer to any one of these as "Codex Sabaiticus".
These are mostly works on Christian subjects, but this corpus also contains some fragments on non-Christian subjects, such as the Greek mythological Agapenor.[2]
