Codex Sinaiticus is an important book. Over 1600 years ago, the manuscript contains the Christian Bible in Greek, including the oldest complete copy of the New Testament. Heavily corrected text is of outstanding importance for the history of the Bible and the manuscript – the oldest substantial book to survive.
The significance of Codex Sinaiticus for the reconstruction of the Christian Bible's original text, the history of the Bible and the history of Western book-making is immense.

Codex Sinaiticus named after the Monastery of Saint Catherine, Mount Sinai, where it was preserved for many centuries. It is generally dated to the middle of the fourth century. Leaves and fragments of this manuscript were taken by Constantine Tischendorf on three occasions – in 1844, in 1853 and in 1859 – so that they might be published. The principal surviving portion of the Codex, comprising 347 leaves, was purchased from the Soviet government in 1933 and is now held by the British Library. A further 43 leaves are held at the University Library in Leipzig. Parts of six leaves are held at the National Library of Russia in St. Petersburg. Twelve leaves and forty fragments remain at Saint Catherine’s Monastery, recovered by the monks from the northern wall of the monastery in June 1975.

The recent history of Codex Sinaiticus under investigation. The resulting historical narrative will be based on documents that have never been published. Upon its completion, we shall have a closer understanding than ever before of the recent history of this important manuscript.

The Holy Monastery of Sinai has, after some initial hesitations, joined the other partners in London, Leipzig and St Petersburg in this Project. All Partners are committed to the principles set out in the above agreement of 9 March 2005 and are looking forward to the scholarly and SPIRITUAL BENEFITS of this Project.
