_The Peshitta Holy Bible_ translated by David Bauscher
#14
It's been said that Codex Sinaiticus is a 'heavyweight' when it comes to textual criticism.  Do you think the OT books present in Codex Sinaiticus belong in the CVB?  If not, how come not?  (because Jerome said so?)

From
http://www.codex-sinaiticus.net/en/codex/content.aspx
As it survives today, Codex Sinaiticus comprises just over 400 large leaves of prepared animal skin, each of which measures 380mm high by 345mm wide. On these parchment leaves is written around half of the Old Testament and Apocrypha (the Septuagint), the whole of the New Testament, and two early Christian texts not found in modern Bibles. Most of the first part of the manuscript (containing most of the so-called historical books, from Genesis to 1 Chronicles) is now missing and presumed to be lost.
The Septuagint includes books which many Protestant Christian denominations place in the Apocrypha. Those present in the surviving part of the Septuagint in Codex Sinaiticus are 2 Esdras, Tobit, Judith, 1 & 4 Maccabees, Wisdom and Sirach.

Jerome declared that all books outside the Hebrew canon were apocryphal.
