It also contains 30,000 beoks. among the large number of manuscript treasures which the Library contains the "Codex Vaticanus," or the "Bible of the End of the Fourth or Beginning of the Fifth Century," in Greek, and containing the oldest authentic version of the Septuagint and the first Greek version of the new Testament, is perhaps the most valuable.
