A Study of the Gospels in Codex Alexandrinus: Codicology Palaeography and Scribal Hands

Regarding variations in the ruling patterns for the manuscript, Thompson likewise noted that:

In rare instances lines are found ruled on both sides of the leaf, as in some parts of the Codex Alexandrinus. In this ms. also, and in some other early codices, ruling was not drawn for every line of writing, but was occasionally spaced so that some lines of the text lay in the spaces while others stood on the ruled lines.25

Pattie concurs:
“Alexandrinus and Sinaiticus are ruled roughly every other line, but the exact pattern varies considerably" (“Creation of the Great Codices," 64).
