To Le Bateman's question about Codex Brixianus:

Codex Brixianus is a Latin gospel book kept in Brescia, Biblioteca communale
(catalogue-mark: Biblioteca Queriniana, cod. f). It is also called Biblia
Queriniana, because a cardinal Querini had it in his library in the
eighteenth century. It is a purple codex from the same time and from the
same milieu as Codex argenteus. The text reflects the Gothic (Wulfila's)
translation of the Bible, and the letters reflect the shapes of the Gothic
letters. It has often been looked upon as the Latin sister codex of Codex
argenteus. Friesen and Grape discuss it in their Introductio to the
facsimile edition of Codex argenteus 1927, and Guiglielmo Cavallo treats it
in the commentary volume of the facsimile edition of Codex Purpureus
Rossanensis 1987, for example.
