The Codex Veronensis, designated by siglum b or 4 (in the Beuron system), is a 4th or 5th century Latin Gospel Book. The text, written on purple dyed vellum in silver and occasionally gold ink, is a version of the old Latin. The Gospels follow in the Western order.[1]

Description
It has several lacunae (Matthew 1:1-11; 15:12-23; 23:18-27; John 7:44-8:12; Luke 19:26-21:29; Mark 13:9-19; 13:24-16:20).[2] In this codex John 7:44-8:12 has been erased. The manuscript is defective.
In Luke 8:21 it reads αυτον instead of αυτους; the reading αυτον is supported by Papyrus 75, and Minuscule 705.[3]
In John 1:34 reads ὁ ἐκλεκτός together with the manuscripts 
5, 106, א, e, ff2, syrc, s.
In John 14:14 the entire verse is omitted along with manuscripts X f1 565 1009 1365 ℓ 76 ℓ 253 vgmss syrs, pal arm geo Diatessaron.[4]
The Latin text of the codex is a representative of the Western text-type in European recension.[5] In Francis Crawford Burkitt's opinion (the Divinity scholar who worked in the early 20th century), it represents the type of text that Jerome used as the basis of the Vulgate.[6]
The manuscript was examined by Giuseppe Bianchini in the mid-18th century. The text was edited by Bianchini, Belsheim,[] and Jülicher.[]
It was named Veronensis after Verona, where it was located.
