Codex Laudianus (Gregory-Aland no. Ea or 08), called Laudianus after the former owner, Archbishop William Laud, is a 6th cenutry diglot uncial manuscripts of the Acts of Apostles, with Greek and Latin in parallel columns on the same page. The codex contains 227 leaves (27 cm by 22 cm), and is an almost complete text of the Book of Acts. It is the earliest known manuscript which contains Acts 8:37. It was donated to the Bodleian Library in Oxford by William Laud, where is located now (Cat. number: Laud. Gr. 35 1397, I,8).
The Greek text of this codex exhibits a mixture of text-types, usually Byzantine, but there are many Western and some Alexandrian readings. Aland placed it in Category II.
