Dr Christian Gastgeber,
Austrian Academy of Sciences,
Institute for Byzantine Studies
Christian Gastgeber was born in 1970 in Vienna. He stud-
ied Classical Philology at the University of Vienna, with
complementary studies in Mediaeval and New Latin,
Theology and History and Social Studies. He completed
his postgraduate studies at the Institute of Byzantine and
Modern Greek Studies at the University Vienna in 2001.
He was collaborator in the Commission for Editing the
Corpus of the Latin Church Fathers (CSEL) of the Austrian
Academy of Sciences (1992–1994). He has been engaged
at the Commission of Byzantine Studies of the Austrian
Academy of Sciences since 2001 in the research fields: text
edition, diplomatics, palaeography and codicology. He was
appointed in 2006 as vice director of the Institute for Byzantine
Studies of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (uniting the former Commission of Byzantine Stud-
ies and the Tabula Imperii Byzantini). He has been member of the managing presidium of the
foundation Pro Oriente since 2009.

The whole texts of the Bible began to
be collected in huge parchment codices containing all the books of the Old and New Testa-
ment; the earliest examples date exactly from the century of Constantine, the so called Codex
Vaticanus and the Codex Sinaiticus. However, both differ in its appearance from the descrip-
tion given by Eusebius so that we cannot identify them with the books ordered by the emperor.
