The Biblical Canon of
Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus

The Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus is an ancient manuscript of the Bible written in Greek and dating to the early fifth century.  It is one of the four great uncials (ancient manuscripts which originally contained the whole of both the Old and New Testaments) along with Codex Vaticanus, Codex Sinaiticus, and Codex Alexandrinus.  Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus contains material from every New Testament book except 2 Thessalonians and 2 John; it is not known whether or not 2 Thessalonians and 2 John were excluded on purpose.  Only six books of the Greek Old Testament (Septuagint) have survived; parts of the Book of Job, the Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, and the Deuterocanonical books of Wisdom, and Sirach
