chuck,
You stated that there are around 3,000 varients between Sinaiticus and Vaticanus in one of your posts. Can you site any authoritative or reliable source for this? For both Sinaiticus and Vaticanus include almost ALL the books of the New Testament, which (from my knowledge) Vaticanus is missing a few chapters from the book of Hebrews and it contains about 85% of the New Testament. Believe it or not, that is not a high number of varients in new textual criticism between these 2 manuscripts. Bear in mind that , like I said, both these codices include the entire New Testament (just about).
And like my last post, I have always wanted to know how much difference there is between the 2.
Kindly,
Mike
