As you see, the NT mss project is a long one. We have not too much workers, and we are looking for the generous volunteers we can get. Your work is good. I hope you will work. We need a lot of new articles, we need to expand existed articles. Codex Sinaiticus is almost finished.

If we use sources to the article like Codex Sinaiticus, we need use academic journals, and books written by scholars. These are primary sources (of course not always it is possible). Programms from radio, TV, or popular magazines are not primary sources, though it is good to use them too. Weblinks are not primary souerces too. Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 06:08, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Codex Sinaiticus
Are you really believe that Tischendorf stolen codex? Why three more fragments discovered in the monastery in the beginning of the 20th century by Beneshevich were also sent to Petersburg? It means the story of monks is not true. There is a correspondence between Tischendorf and monastery after 1859. You need read this:
 * T. C. Skeat, "The Last Chapter in the History of the Codex Sinaiticus", Novum Testamentum XLII, 4, pp. 313-315.
 * CSNTM

and this:
 * Evangelical Textual Criticism.

Of course we can ascribed opinion of monks in the article, but this opinion is doubtful. Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 06:08, 1 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, I agree with you, the romantic story of its burning is unbelievable. The stolen story is for tourists. Majority of experts think that Vaticanus is older. It is not very important which codex is oldest, but quality of the text. Sinaiticus in John 7:8 has: "I am not going up to this feast" (it means Jesus lied), Vaticanus has: "I am not yet going to this feast". Of course Sinaiticus in John 1:1-8:38 represents the Western text, not Alexandrian, but NA27 followed after Sinaiticus. This reading represents RSV. Usually I agreed with the modern Textual Criticism, but not in this case. This reading we can find only in manuscripts of the Western text-type.Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 23:31, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
