'''Codex Sinaiticus''' is a 4th century, Greek manuscript of the [[Old Testament]] and [[New Testament]]. The oldest complete [[bible]]s are the [[Codex Vaticanus]] and the Codex Sinaiticus.
:: ''Dates from the mid fourth century and originally included both Old and [[New Testament]]s plus the Epistle of Barnabas and the Shepherd of Hermas, all in [[Greek]]. It was found in [[Egypt]], in a monastery library on the slopes of [[Mount Sinai]] (St. Catherine's Monastery), by Constantin von Tischendorf in 1859, and brought to St. Petersburg. In 1933, it was sold to the [[British Museum]] in [[London]] where it currently resides.''
