Codex Sinaiticus is a bound book created 1600 years ago to the highest standard of production and containing the earliest copy of the New Testament. This volume tells the story of how the Codex was discovered at the monastery of St. Catherine on Mount Sinai in Egypt, and explores the complexity, time and cost of its ambitious production.
