FOUNDATIONS OF FAITH IN JESUS M. M. NINAN (capital) letters, written in A.D. 350, other existing fragments are in existence which are dated much earlier. In 350 A.D. the library at Caesarea was replacing worn papyrus books with vellum copies. Since each copy had to be written by hand whenever a number of copies were needed it was done in the work room called scriptorium. Here several scribes gathered together each with their own writing tables and codices and ink and pen. A central person called lector will read the book loud. The scribes will copy what they hear on to the codices. At the end of the session the manuscripts were collected and reviewed by a group of correctors who rectify any mistake in the copy. In spite of every effort to reproduce correctly mistakes may occur which are minimized by repeated reviews of the correctors. The new document is then distributed over several churches and cities where they are again recopied. These texts are usually known after the cities such as the Byzantine, the Syrian, the Alexandrian etc. Codex Vaticanus and Codex Siniaticus are two excellent parchment copies of the entire New Testament which date from the 4th century (325-450 A.D.). Codex Vaticanus originally contained a virtually complete copy of the Septuagint ("LXX"), lacking only 1-4 Maccabees and the Prayer of Manasseh. Codex Vaticanus 30
FOUNDATIONS OF FAITH IN JESUS M. M. NINAN The extant New Testament of the Vaticanus contains the Gospels, Acts, the General Epistles, the Pauline Epistles, and the Epistle to the Hebrews (up to Hebrews 9:14, καθα[ριει); it is lacking and 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, and Revelation. These missing leaves were supplemented by a 15th century minuscule hand (folios 760–768) and are catalogued separately as the minuscule Codex 1957. Originally, the Codex Sinaiticus contained the whole of both Testaments. Approximately half of the Greek Old Testament (or Septuagint) survived, along with a complete New Testament, plus the Epistle of Barnabas, and portions of The Shepherd of Hermas 31
