      • The Codex Sangallensis 63, designated by S in some critical editions of the Bible, is a 9th-century Latin manuscript of the New Testament. The text, written on vellum, is a version of the Vulgate and contains the text of the Acts of the Apostles, Epistles, Book of Revelation, and non-biblical material (an Etymological dictionary). The manuscript has not survived in a complete condition, some parts of it have been lost. The original manuscript did not contain the Comma Johanneum (in 1 John 5:7), but it was added by a later hand on the bottom margin (see picture).

      Codex Sangallensis contains 160 leaves (320 pages) arranged in quarto, in one thick volume. The measures of leaves are 22.3 by 19.2 cm. A single paper fly-leaf was added by a later hand.
