The Codex Sinaiticus is a very early copy of the Sacred Scriptures. From the Catholic Encyclopedia:"A Greek manuscript of the Old and New Testaments, of the greatest antiquity and value; found on Mount Sinai, in St. Catherine's Monastery, by Constantine Tischendorf." It's author would be God. Those who actually made the copies are unknown. Again from the Catholic Encyopedia: "Tischendorf judged that there were four hands engaged in the writing of the manuscript; in this he has been generally followed. He has been less happy in obtaining acceptance of his conjecture that one of these scribes also wrote the New Testament of the Vatican Codex. He recognized seven correctors of the text, one of them contemporaneous with the writing of the manuscript. The Ammonian Sections and the Eusebian Canons are indicated in the margin, probably by a contemporary hand; they seem to have been unknown to the scribe, however, who followed another division. The clericalerrors are relatively not numerous, in Gregory's judgment." To look at the entire article, you may find it here:
