	The 1 John text section omits the Comma Johanneum.

			== Description ==
			It contains the [[Diatessaron]] and 23 canonical books of the [[New Testament]]; plus the [[Epistle to the Laodiceans]], and a copy of [[Jerome]]'s ''Prologue to the Canonical Gospels''. It represents the Italian type of text.<sup>[4]</sup>

			The four [[gospel]]s are harmonised into a single continuous narrative, according to the form of [[Tatian]]'s Diatessaron.<sup>[5]</sup> Its text is akin to that of [[Codex Amiatinus]].<sup>[1]</sup> The harmonised gospel text is preceded by a listing of its sections, with a summary of their contents, which was copied unchanged from the Old Latin exemplar. From this it can be determined that the Old Latin source had lacked the [[Genealogy of Jesus]] (which Victor inserted); but that the source had included the passage of [[Jesus and the woman taken in adultery]].

			The order of books: Diatessaron, [[Pauline epistles]] (Romans, 1-2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, 1-2 Thessalonians, Colossians, Laodiceans, 1-2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Hebrews), [[Acts of the Apostles]], [[Catholic epistles]] (usual order), [[Book of Apocalypse]].

			The section 1 Cor 14:34-35 is added by the original scribe on the margin. This section is marked by umlaut in [[Codex Vaticanus]].<sup>[6]</sup> Several manuscripts of the Western text-type, placed section 1 Cor 14:34-35 after 1 Cor 14:40 (manuscripts: [[Codex Claromontanus\|Claromontanus]], [[Codex Augiensis\|Augiensis]], [[Codex Boernerianus\|Boernerianus]], it<sup>d, g</sup>). Also codex [[Minuscule 88\|88]], which is not representative of the Western text, placed this section after 1 Cor 14:40. One manuscript of the Vulgate does the same (''[[Codex Reginensis]]'').<sup>[2]</sup> According to [[Bruce M. Metzger\|Metzger]] the evidence of the codex is ambiguous. Perhaps the scribe, without actually deleting verses 34-35 from the text, intended the liturgist to omit them when reading the lesson.<sup>[7]</sup>

			The 1 John text section omits the Comma Johanneum. However, the Vulgate Prologue to the Canonical Epistles includes a direct reference to the heavenly witnesses, with the Prologue written as a first-person note from Jerome to Eustocium. In this Prologue unfaithful translators are criticized for removal of the verse. The Prologue from about 1700 on had often been attacked as a late forgery, not really by Jerome, at the time the earliest known extant Vulgate with the Prologue was about 800 AD. The Prologue was noted to be in the Codex Fuldensis in the mid-to-late 1800s.

			== History ==

			[[Victor of Capua]] reports that he found an Old Latin harmony of the Gospels, which he recognised as following Tatian's arrangement of the Diatessaron; and substituted the Vulgate text for the [[Vetus Latina\|Old Latin]], appending the rest of the New Testament books from the standard Vulgate.<sup>[1]</sup> [[Saint Boniface\|St. Boniface]] acquired the codex and in 745 gave it to the [[Fulda monastery\|monastic library]] (Abb. 61), in [[Fulda]], where it is housed to the present day (hence the name of the codex),<sup>[4]</sup> where it served as the source text for vernacular harmonies in [[Old High German]], Eastern Frankish and [[Old Saxon]].

			Codex Sangallensis 56 was copied, in the 9th century, from the Diatessaron of the Codex Fuldensis. It contains also some extracts from the Acts of the Apostles.<sup>[8]</sup>

			The text of the codex was published by Ranke in 1868.<sup>[9]</sup>
