Codex Alexandrinus is one of the four Great uncial codices and among the earliest and most complete manuscripts of the Bible. It is the oldest manuscript to use larger letters to indicate new sections, and it was the first manuscript of great importance and antiquity to be extensively used by textual critics.

Contains an almost complete text of the Catholic and Pauline epistles. The manuscript features scholia at the foot of the pages attributed to John Chrysostom, and the uncial text is separated into paragraphs by comments written in minuscule script.

It contains large lacunae in Acts 1:1-8:10 and in Hebrews 13:10-25.
