Jeremiah 5:9
Papyrus Chester Beatty VIII
Papyrus Chester Beatty VIII is an exceptionally early surviving copy of the Book of Jeremiah in Greek, dating to around the late second or early third century AD. It is part of a renowned collection that proved early Christian communities were pioneers in using the codex (modern book) format rather than traditional scrolls. The manuscript also features ancient reverential abbreviations for sacred names, known as nomina sacra.
Codex Vaticanus
Codex Vaticanus is one of the oldest and most valuable surviving manuscripts of the complete Greek Bible. It has been securely housed in the Vatican Library since at least the late 15th century and is celebrated for its elegant script written on very high-quality vellum.
Codex Sinaiticus
Codex Sinaiticus is one of the most celebrated and important books in the world. Handwritten well over 1,600 years ago, it contains the Christian Bible in Greek, including the oldest surviving complete copy of the New Testament. Originally discovered at St. Catherine's Monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai, its surviving leaves are now preserved across four libraries worldwide, with the largest portion held at the British Library.
Codex Alexandrinus
Codex Alexandrinus is one of the four great uncial codices of the Greek Bible. It contains the vast majority of the Septuagint and New Testament, and was the first of the great uncials to become accessible to modern scholars.
