@Dɑvïd Huh. I suppose I meant hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/… ?

@JonEricson @Dɑvïd When you migrate stuff between sites only the most recent revision comes across. Also deleted posts get left behind.

@Caleb Always more to learn. :) Thanks! @JonEricson Link duly (and sensibly) updated. (I had wondered if it was another Meta.BHSE Q&A you had in mind; my first impulse was to check tags on main!)

@Dɑvïd Seems like my question is probably addressed in there, and my library's got it, but I can't find so much as a table of contents by which to request the relevant section(s). I may actually have to make my way into the stacks... (I actually did this in the theological library once recently, and I was completely overwhelmed by all the things I need to read.)

Meanwhile, any idea how Sinaiticus ended up with a Hebrew letter? I don't have a critical LXX, but it's the only Hebrew letter included among the manuscripts in my GNT.

Seems like it must go back to Tischendorf, though his Wikipedia page makes no mention.

Ha!

= James Bentley, Secrets of Mount Sinai: The Story of the Codex Sinaiticus (Orbis, 1985).

and on which see Rahlfs' handy comparison of systems, and his account of the Sinaiticus bits, pp. 226-229. HTH!

@Dɑvïd There is a novel in Spanish that is based on the Codex Sianiticus. FWIW!
