In this episode we describe the physical and textual characteristics of Codex Sinaiticus found by Constantine Tischendorf in the Monastery of St. Catherine. This Biblical manuscript has been dated to the 4th century AD and contains a near complete copy of the entire Bible, plus two additional texts: The Letter of Barnabas and The Shepherd of Hermas.
