The manuscript’s online home is located at http://www.codexsinaiticus.org/. Yet, I wanted to point out that as I type this post, CNN is featuring an article on the codex as the principal story on CNN.com. Yes, sensationalist reporting by news agencies generally run counter to biblical scholarship, but it is still nice to see an ancient biblical manuscript getting so much attention.

Update: So it might not be the “complete” text of Sinaiticus because a new leaf which may belong to the codex was recently rediscovered. The leaf contains the text of Joshua 1. See Tommy Wasserman’s post for more details.
