From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Vaticanus, Codex
      is said to be the oldest extant vellum manuscript. It and the
      Codex Sinaiticus are the two oldest uncial manuscripts. They
      were probably written in the fourth century. The Vaticanus was
      placed in the Vatican Library at Rome by Pope Nicolas V. in
      1448, its previous history being unknown. It originally
      consisted in all probability of a complete copy of the
      Septuagint and of the New Testament. It is now imperfect, and
      consists of 759 thin, delicate leaves, of which the New
      Testament fills 142. Like the Sinaiticus, it is of the greatest
      value to Biblical scholars in aiding in the formation of a
      correct text of the New Testament. It is referred to by critics
      as Codex B.
