Considered by many to be the first Bible, the Codex Vaticanus was an assembly of the Old and New Testaments into a single, handwritten volume, and is dated to the 4th Century A.D.
The Codex Sinaiticus is another manuscript believed to be one of the first Bibles, and was discovered at the Monastery of St. Catherine, Mount Sinai, in 1859. It also has been dated to the 4th Century A.D.
It should be noted that the Epistles, Gospels, and other written texts found within the Codexes were written long before they were combined into a single volume.
