Sinaiticus codex is one of the most valuable of ancient manuscripts of the Greek New Testament.
It was written in the fourth Century.Tischendorf discovered the manuscript on his third visit to the convent of St. Catherine, on Mount Sinai, in 1859.
Sinaiticus is the only copy of the New Testament in uncial characters that is complete and therefore it is the oldest extant MS copy of the New Testament.
Codex Sinaiticus, a manuscript of the Christian Bible written in the middle of the fourth century, contains the earliest complete copy of the Christian New Testament. The hand-written text is in Greek. The New Testament appears in the original vernacular language (koine) and the Old Testament in the version, known as the Septuagint, that was adopted by early Greek-speaking Christians. In the Codex, the text of both the Septuagint and the New Testament has been heavily annotated by a series of early correctors.
The significance of Codex Sinaiticus for the reconstruction of the Christian Bible’s original text, the history of the Bible and the history of Western book-making is immense.
