TIP of the day: Codex Sinaiticus
1. One resource available for free in Logos is the Codex Sinaiticus.
It will download as two resources - showing prejudice against the added material of the New Testament I suspect. I prefer an "it is what it is" approach.
2. Open the Codx Sinaiticus: Septuagint and New Testament
3. Notice that the smaller 1 is an active link to a folio image.
4. That links to an external website Codex Sinaiticus.
5. Select and click in the transcription results in a red box marking the selection in the manuscript image.
6. You can grab the manuscript to reposition it and/or use the slider to adjust the magnification.
7. With Logos there is a limited right click Context Menu as the text is not densely tagged.
Cities appears a bit strange as it is unrelated to the highlighted word. However by following the trail you can see that it is associated with the passage. (Yes, Bradley had to show me this.)
8. There are a few visual filter functions available - same surface text for corresponding words and emphasize active lemmas are worth exploring in conjunction with a critical text version of the LXX.
9. Same surface text is shown to work here.
10. There are also some editorial remarks within the codex - the subscript o indicating an emendation of some sort.
11. A square bracket indicates the start of a verse when not the first character of the line.
12. There is a Canon Comparison entry of Sinaiticus which shows broadly what is and is not in the text and provided links to the external Codex Sinaiticus site, the Factbook and Wikipedia.
13. The New Testament Manuscript Explorer (Logos Now) has an entry. On mouse over, the preview of the resource is shown.
14. The entry may be expanded to show additional information including additional external links. Here the links are more generic requiring navigation within the site.
15. Apparatus to the Septuagint will reference the Codex Sinaiticus with the abbreviation S.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

I appreciate having these in Logos; however, it is sometimes good to go to the Sinaiticus website to view how it was actually written.

I heartily agree which is why 4-6 are from the actual Sinaiticus website. Logos has a direct link to it.

Uh-oh, I missed that; I've been going to the Sinaiticus site on my own. Where's the link? [:^)] Never mind, I found it in the forward to the Sinaiticus resource.

I had missed it until a mobile ed video pointed it out ... one of those very obscure features proving Faithlife expects you to try mouse actions on EVERYthing.

Now, IF ONLY we had Vaticanus and Alexandrinus as well. Unfortunately, I I think there is only a transcription of these and not an image.

For the Alexandrinus and Vaticanus we have web access to the manuscript and transliteration:

Great ! I obviously wasn't aware of that. I've now achieved my goal of learning AT LEAST one new thing per day.

BTW: How much "free" did that cost you? Unfortunately, I don't have any free and don't know where to get some. What country issues "free"? [;)] [:D]

And I've achieved my goal of TIP of the day helping at least one person.

I may be only 39 on my next birthday, but I qualify (I'm precocious). [;)]
