  Codex Bezae
Beza wrote in the letter accompanying his gift that the manuscript was obtained from the monastery of St. Irenaeus in Lyons, during the war in 1562.
Beza himself, after having first denominated his codex Lugdunensis, later called it Claromontanus, as if it came not from Lyons, but from Clermont (near Beauvais, not Clermont of Auvergne).
All this, throwing Beza's original statement into doubt, indicates that the manuscript was in Italy in the middle of the sixteenth century, and has some bearing upon the locality of the production.

Codex Claromontanus (Gregory-Aland no. D or 06) is a 6th century manuscript in an uncial hand on vellum of the Epistles of Paul and the Epistle to the Hebrews in Greek and Latin on facing pages (thus a "diglot" manuscript, like Codex Bezae Cantabrigiensis).
It was named by Theodore Beza because he procured it in the town of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, Oise, in the Picardie region north of Paris.
The Greek text of this codex is highly valued by critics as representing an early form of the text in the Western text-type, characterized by frequent interpolations and, to a lesser extent, interpretive revisions presented as corrections to this text.

 Codex Bezae Cantabrigiensis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The Codex Bezae Cantabrigiensis is so called because at one time it belonged to Theodore Beza, who in 1581 gave it to the University of Cambridge (Latin Cantabrigia), where it is now kept.
The codex is a Greek and Latin diglot, the Greek text being on the left hand page and the Latin on the right.
In general the Greek text is treated as an unreliable witness, and rightly so; but its very peculiarity, which suggests that it descended from an early offshoot of the manuscript tradition, makes it an important corroborating witness wherever it agrees with other early manuscripts.

It should be borne in mind that Christians did not "invent" the codex, as has sometimes been stated in the past, but the evidence is clear that the preponderance of early (i.e., second and third century) codices were Christian compositions.[9] Numerous reasons have been suggested for the adoption of the codex, mostly practical in nature.
The codex could readily use both sides of a leaf, although this practice was not unheard of on scrolls (see for example, Ezek 2:9-10, Zech 5:3, and Rev 5:1).
