Sinaiticus Coming to the Web
Being in Kerrville at the SBTC’s SLT/SWU camps this week, I don’t have much time to post. However, AP just published a story worth recommending. The most ancient manuscript of the New Testament in the world, the Codex Sinaiticus, will be available on the internet beginning about this time next year.
Even those who hold it in disfavor for its truncated ending to Mark and its extra-canonical material are surely giddy over the prospect of seeing it first hand. I am–despite a lingering suspicion there may be a substantial fee for full access. I also suspect, by the way, that many readers will be shocked at the extra challenges involved in reading hand-written Greek. But first hand access to information is always a good thing.
