"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 and the manuscript – the oldest substantial book to survive Antiquity – is of supreme importance for the history of the book."

I realize you are an atheist. Myself, I'm undecided but leaning toward Christian.

Any how, thanks for the link. I find this stuff very interesting.

you're very welcome.

being an atheist certainly doesn't preclude being interested in human history.

this should certainly make for interesting reading for all.
