Nerds rejoice!

Codex Sinaiticus, the equal oldest and best complete New Testament text is now available online (thanks, Di, for the link).

Along with Codex Vaticanus, it is considered the best complete NT we have, dating to the fourth century. I saw Codex Sinaiticus (designated with the Hebrew letter aleph, א) in 2001 when I visited the British Library in London. The Codex Vaticanus (B), is a little harder to view — can you guess why?

They’ve been working on this for years, and it’s finally arrived.
