Codex Amiatinus
The Codex Amiatinus is the oldest surviving complete manuscript of the Latin Vulgate Bible. It was made at the twin monastery of Wearmouth-Jarrow in Northumbria in the early 8th century, one of three great Bibles commissioned by Abbot Ceolfrith, who took it towards Rome as a gift for the pope in 716. It is now in the Laurentian Library in Florence and takes its name from the abbey of Monte Amiata.
