Codex Turicensis (T, Zurich, Municipal Library) is a 7th century purple manuscript of the Psalter in Greek. It contained originally 288 leaves; of these 223 remain.
The text now begins at Ps. 36. (37.) 1, and there are lacunae in the body of the manuscript which involve the loss of Pss. 30. 2—36. 20, 41. 6—43. 3, 48. 24—59. 3, 59. 9—10, 13—60. 1, 64. 12—71. 4, 92. 3—93. 7, 96. 12—97. 8.
The first five Canticles and a part of the sixth have also disappeared; those which remain are 1 Regn. 2. 6—10 (the rest of the sixth), the Magnificat, Isa. 38. 10—20, the Prayer of Manasses 378, Dan. 3. 23 ff., Benedictus, Nunc Dimittis.
Like the Codex Veronensis (R) this manuscript is of Western origin. It was intended for Western use, as appears from the renderings of the Latin (Gallican) version which have been copied into the margins by a contemporary hand, and also from the liturgical divisions of the Psalter. The archetype, however, was a Psalter written for use in the East—a fact which is revealed by the survival in the copy of occasional traces of the Greek στάσεις
The characters are written in silver, gold, or vermilion, according as they belong to the body of the text, the headings and initial letters of the Psalms, or the marginal Latin readings. Konstantin von Tischendorf, who published the text in the fourth volume of his nova collectio (1869), ascribes the handwriting to the seventh century.
The text of the Codex Turicensis agrees generally with that of the Codex Alexandrinus (A), and still more closely with the hand in Codex Sinaiticus (S, א known as אc.a).
The manuscript is held at Zurich, Municipal Library (Zentralbibliothek), Siglum RP 1 or C 39.
