The codex sinaiticus originally was found in the Monastery of St. Catherine but was divided in the mid-1800's among several universities. Now it has been reassembled and is available online for free.
Why is it so important? As noted on the website;
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.
This will be a helpful tool for many New Testament scholars as we seek to continually understand the early church period as well as in the area of textual criticism, opening the doors to many who once found access to these documents difficult.
