Relationship to Codex Boernerianus

The Greek text of both manuscripts is almost the same; the Latin text differs. Also, lacunae omissions are paralleled to the sister manuscript Codex Boernerianus. According to Griesbach, Augiensis was recopied from Boernerianus. According to Tischendorf, two codices were recopied from the same manuscript. Scrivener enumerated 1982 differences between these two codices. Among textual scholars, there is a tendency to prefer Augiensis above Boernerianus. The codex is also similar to Codex Claromontanus, and again scholars favour the readings in Augiensis above those in Claromontanus.
