We’ve been working our way through the various sources for our Greek New Testament. We’ve looked at the papyri and the uncials, but there is so much more to consider. In fact, the New Testament papyri and uncials combined make up less than 2% of our manuscripts. Today, we’ll consider the other 98% of manuscripts including minuscules, lectionaries, quotations in the church fathers, and ancient translations.
If I may leave a small correcting comment (unless I am wrong), I just finished listening to this episode and I noticed you said codex Vaticanus is in the british library next to Sinaiticus. I had the chance to visit the british library on one of my trips to England 2 years ago and I did get to do some research and see codex Sinaiticus, but Codex B was not there. Actually William Tyndales bible and an original 1611 KJV was there. I think I read or maybe heard Daniel Wallace speaking about his research into codex B and he said it was in the Vatican when he visited there. I don’t think this is a big deal to most people but I personally made a special trip in Kingscross to go see the manuscripts in England so, it may be important to someone else to know what’s there. Maybe someone can correct me if it actually is there. Thanks again for this series. I’m quite enjoying it.
Here is a link to what is probably the world’s largest Bible.

I saw this in person in the 1990s while it was at the Abilene Christian University.
