Codex Washingtonianus, Codex Washingtonensis or Codex Freerianus, designated by W or 032 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts), ε014 (in the von Soden numbering of New Testament manuscripts), also called the Washington Manuscript of the Gospels, The Freer Gospel and The Freer Codex, is a Greek uncial manuscript containing the four biblical gospels written on parchment. Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), it has been dated to the 4th or 5th century. The manuscript has some gaps. The manuscript was among a collection of manuscripts bought by American industrialist Charles Lang Freer at the start of the 20th century, and first published by biblical scholar Henry A. Sanders. It has been described as one of the "more important majuscule manuscripts discovered during the 20th century", and "a highly valuable manuscript." In the Gospel of Mark, it shares several distinctive readings with the early 3rd century papyrus, the Chester Beatty codex of the Gospels and Acts. It is considered to be the third oldest Gospel parchment codex in the world. Description The manuscript is a codex (precursor to the modern book), made from 187 parchment leaves (sized 20.5–21 cm by 13-14.5 cm) with painted wooden covers. The text is written in one column per page, 30 lines per page. The letters are written in a small, slightly sloping uncial hand, using dark-brown ink. The words are written continuously without separation. Accents are absent, and the rough breathing mark is used very rarely. There are numerous corrections made by the original scribe and a few corrections dating to the late 5th or 6th century. John 1:1-5:11 is a replacement of a presumably damaged folio, and dates to around the 7th century. Mark 15:13-38 and John 14:26-16:7 are lacking. The copyist has been described as "generally a careful worker", who produced "extremely few nonsense readings" and had very few "other indicators of careless copying." Like in Codex Bezae (D), the Gospels follow in Western order: Matthew, John, Luke, Mark. The following nomina sacra (special names /words considered sacred in Christianity - usually the first and last letters of the name/word in question are written, followed by an overline; sometimes other letters from within the word are used as well) are employed throughout the manuscript (the following list is for nominative case (subject) forms): (θεος / God); (κυριος / Lord); (χριστος / Christ/Messiah); (Ιησους / Jesus); (πνευμα / spirit); (ανθρωπος
