The Codex Fuldensis is a manuscript based on the Latin Vulgate made between 541 and 546. It contains the 27 canonical books of the New Testament, the Epistle to the Laodiceans, and a copy of Jerome's Prologue to the Canonical Gospels. The gospels are in the form of Tatian's Diatessaron.

Victor of Capua found an Old Latin version of Tatian's arrangement and substituted the Vulgate for the Old Latin. The manuscript survives in the monastic library at Fulda, where it served as the source text for vernacular harmonies in Old High German, Eastern Frankish and Old Saxon.
