History of Codex Vaticanus
What are some good books on the history of Codex Vaticanus? I have read the factbook entry in Logos and a few dictionary articles (Lexham Bible Dictionary, Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary, The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, Easton’s Bible Dictionary and Tyndale Bible Dictionary). As a result, I need more meat on the topic. To give more insight, I am focusing my study on its history and applicability to Johannine Studies. I have been working on this topic for some time now. I also have read a few similar and correlated studies. See list below

DMB may well have other suggestions. I assumed you traced all the references in the readings you listed.

Actually, Rick is Mr Vaticanus ... he did all that work on the interlinear. Hopefully, he also has some good thoughts.

Thanks MJ. I am looking to determine how Codex Vaticanus has evolved within Gospel of John textual scholarship. I also want to know about the origins of the Codex in early textual criticism. I did trace the references in all those resources and that did not prove very helpful. Speaking of Yi's source I find it open access for those Logosians. https://research.vu.nl/ws/portalfiles/portal/258149851/from+erasmus+to+maius+-+thesis+-+64fe0a372677e.pdf Hill's work looks to be good but very over priced.

This is an ill-formed question -- it is the use/interpretation of the Codex that has evolved not the Codex itself. The first resource I listed should cover this. But primarily you need to read journal articles, tracing the scholarly genetics of who quotes whom to see the actual evolution.
