Codex Washingtonianus
Majuscule · W 032 · 4th–5th century
A book of the Gospels bought in Egypt in 1906 by the American collector Charles Lang Freer, and so also called the Freer Gospels. Its text changes from one part to another, as if it were copied from several books. It has Mark 16:9–20 with a saying of the risen Lord after verse 14 (the Freer Logion) found nowhere else. Like Codex Bezae it has the Gospels in the order Matthew, John, Luke, Mark.
