The '''Codex Bezae Cantabrigiensis''' is a bi-lingual [[Greek language|Greek]] and [[Latin]] manuscript of the [[New Testament]] written in an [[uncial]] hand on [[parchment]]. It is designated by the [[siglum]] '''D{{sup|ea}}''' or '''05''' in the [[Biblical manuscript#Gregory-Aland|Gregory-Aland]] numbering of New Testament manuscripts, and δ 5 in the [[Biblical manuscript#Von Soden|von Soden]] numbering of New Testament manuscripts. It contains most of the four [[Gospel]]s and [[Acts of the Apostles|Acts]], with a small fragment of [[Third Epistle of John|3 John]]. Using the study of comparative writing styles ([[palaeography]]), it is currently dated to the 5th century.{{r|INTF}}
