Complete Bible.
| This manuscript was evidently one of the sources for the Aldine edition of the LXX. The sequence of biblical books is the same as in Ra 121, another codex commissioned by Bessarion. Oct.–Par. were copied from an unknown exemplar; IV Proph.–Tob. were copied from Ra B (Codex Vaticanus); Mac I was copied from Ra V (which also belonged to Bessarion).
