		+	:"When D supports the early tradition the manuscript has a genuine significance, but it (as well as its precursors and followers) should be examined most carefully when it opposes the early tradition." –Kurt and Barbara Aland, Text of the New Testament, 2nd ed. (English transl.), p. 110.
		+
		+	:"There is still no unanimity of opinion regarding the many problems that the manuscript raises." –Metzger and Ehrman, Text of the New Testament, 4th ed., p. 73.
		+
		+	:"Although some years of frequent communion have given me a peculiar affection, which would often seek to exculpate, for this manuscript, the fact is that the longer I have studied it, the more I have become convinced that its many unique readings only very rarely deserve serious consideration if one is trying to establish the best available text. Acts is the most aberrant book, a large-scale reworking having a character on which I hope to shed some light. I am not one of those who would like to see something like the Bezan text in every Greek New Testament, lectured on in every classroom and read at every lectern." –Parker, Codex Bezae, p. 1.
		+
		+	:"Codex Bezae, D(05), has many large variant readings in the book of Acts, often amounting to rewriting a whole clause ... Incidentally, Codex Bezae on its own (or with little other support) is always highly suspect." Jongkind, Introduction to the THGNT, p. 49.
		+
		+	Similar remarks by Comfort (Commentary on the Manuscripts and Text of the NT, p. 98), A.T. Robertson (Introduction to Textual Criticism, p. 87), and a number of others.

		+
		+	The manuscript is believed to have been repaired at Lyon in the Ninth century as revealed by a distinctive ink used for supplementary pages. It was closely guarded for many centuries in the monastic library of St Irenaeus at Lyon. The manuscript was consulted, perhaps in Italy, for disputed readings at the Council of Trent, and was at about the same time collated for Stephanus's edition of the Greek New Testament. During the upheavals of the Wars of Religion in the 16th century, when textual analysis had a new urgency among the Reformation's Protestants, the manuscript was taken from Lyon in 1562 and delivered to the Protestant scholar Theodore Beza, the friend and successor of Calvin, who gave it to the University of Cambridge, in the comparative security of England, in 1581, which accounts for its double name. It remains in the Cambridge University Library (Nn. II 41).[5]
		+
		+	Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener edited the text of codex in 1864.
		+
		+	The importance of the Codex Bezae is such that a colloquium held at Lunel, Herault, in 27-30 June 1994 was entirely devoted to it[6]. Papers discussed the many questions it poses to our understanding of the use of the Gospels and Acts in early Christianity, and of the text of the New Testament.
