    (Translated by Google) Spectacular museum where you can admire the Codex. 👌✨👍 The Codex Purpureus Rossanensis is one of the oldest extant gospels in the world, made precious and unique thanks to its beautiful miniatures, a masterpiece of Byzantine art. The visit is highly recommended 👌✨👍 (Original) Spettacolare museo in cui si può ammirare il Codex. 👌✨👍 Il Codex Purpureus Rossanensis è uno dei più antichi evangeliari esistenti al Mondo, reso prezioso ed unico grazie alle sue bellissime miniature, capolavoro dell’arte bizantina.

    Very interesting! A big thank you to the guide that explains us the "codex" in a simple but really fascinating way. Really worth a visit!

    Najcenniejszym skarbem w muzeum Rossano jest ewangeliarz jednym z purpurowych kodeksów uncjalnych Nowego Testamentu. Powstał w VI wieku, lecz nie do końca wiadomo gdzie.Rękopis przechowywany był w katedrze a teraz znajduje się w muzeum w Rossano jakiś 100 metrów od katedry. Zawiera pełny tekst Ewangelii Mateusza i niepełnej Marka. Nie ma w nim znaków interpunkcyjnych ani przerw pomiędzy wyrazami. Do dnia dzisiejszego zachowało się jedynie 188 z 400 kart kodeksu. Pozostała część uległa zniszczeniu podczas pożaru w XVII lub XVIII wieku. Prawdopodobnie oryginalny kodeks zawierał pełny tekst czterech Ewangelii. Tekst spisany został w dwóch kolumnach na pergaminie nasączonym purpurą. Każda kolumna składała się z 20 linijek, z których pierwsze trzy pisane były złotem, pozostałe – srebrem.

    1600 Jahre altes Evangelium (Weltkulturerbe) und viele andere wunderschöne Reliquien und Gemälde. Kleines Museum, aber mit großer Bedeutung. Kann ich nur Empfehlen.

    Sehr interessant der Codex. Ein schönes Museum in der Altstadt von Rossano, in nähe Kathedrale. Die übrigens spät Nachmittags geöffnet ist.

    This is a must-see museum. Small, but new and inspiring. To be in the presence of a manuscript 15 centuries old is very moving, and the curator brought it to life with his presentation in English. You don't have to be religious to be wowed by this. If I have any criticism it is that the beautiful items in the rest of this small museum have labels only in Italian at present, but they can still be appreciated.

    The new site is very nice and the Codex Is a must to see, but the rest of the exibition is organised like a "side salad without dressing" for the Codex, needing much improvement

    (Translated by Google) The diocesan museum of Rossano, or the Codex, is one of the extraordinary pearls that can be found in Calabria. There you can find the Purple Code (Codex), it is probably the first known copy of the Bible to the world (possibly year 500 AD) (Original) Il museo diocesano di Rossano, o del Codex, è una delle perle straordinarie che si possono trovare in Calabria. Vi si può trovare il Codice Purpureo (Codex), si tratta probabilmente della prima copia nota al mondo della Bibbia (possibilmente anno 500 d.C.)

    Der Kodex mit seiner Geschichte ist beeindruckend. Es gibt sogar einen Film dazu mit deutschen Untertiteln. Sehr freundliches Personal, spricht italienisch und englisch. Der Duomo direkt nebenan ist auch unbedingt einen Besuch wert

    Eine der ältesten Handschriften (Evangelien), auf purpurnen Seiten, mit goldener 7nd silberner Tinte beschrieben. Muss man gesehen haben, unbedingt!

    il Museo Diocesano è un piccolo museo ma molto ben organizzato, qui si conserva un testo rarissimo il Codex Purpureus Rossanensis, un evangeliario greco miniato su pergamena del VI secolo d.C, ne esistono solo tre al mondo e uno è conservato a Rossano
