Codex Sinaiticus

Day 1
Codex Sinaiticus

This manuscript was discovered by Tischendorf during a visit to the Monastery of Saint Catherine in 1844. The leaves were, apparently, being used as fire kindling. Sinaiticus is often nicknamed "the world's oldest Bible." It originally contained the entire Septuagint and New Testament, but only about half of the Septuagint has survived.
