Codex Sinaiticus is one of the most important books in the world. Handwritten well over 1600 years ago, the manuscript contains the Christian Bible in Greek, including the oldest complete copy of the New Testament. Its heavily corrected text is of outstanding importance for the history of The Bible.

Who wrote the Codex Sinaiticus and when?

The Codex Sinaiticus is simply a fourth-century copy of earlier manuscripts that have long since been destroyed. The importance of the codex is that it contains the earliest surviving copy of the New Testament, helping scholars to research how much the books of the New Testament have changed over the centuries and, where possible, why. So, the unknown scribe who copied out the Codex Sinaiticus should not be credited with writing any new work.

A:No. The Bible was not even a single book when first written, and none of the originals has survived to the present day. The Codex Sinaiticus is a manuscript copied in the fourth century. The word 'codex' means that it was written in leafed book form, as we invariably use today, as opposed to rolled-up scrolls.Codex Sinaiticus has the four New Testament gospels, Acts of the Apostles, fourteen Epistles attributed to Paul, including Hebrews, seven catholic Epistles, the Revelation of John, the 'Epistle of Barnabas' and the Shepherd of Hermas.As one of the very oldest surviving biblical manuscripts, it is important because it has Mark's Gospel finishing at verse 16:8, without 'Long Ending' that tells of the appearances of the risen Jesus.
