EARLY SCRIPTURES AU LOST
Oldest. Known -Manuscripts Show th
Bible as It Existed Soon .After
Apostolic Days.
The oldest Bible manuscripts tiow In
existence data fr'oii abont SOO to 450
A. D., and show ns the Bible as it ex
isted soon after the apostolic days.
All the earlier manuscripts were ei
ther lost or destroyed la the terrible
persecutions rhlch were directed not
"only against the Christians but against
their treasured sacred writings, their
enemies thus hoping to stamp out even
the slightest traces of Christianity.
The three oldest manuscripts now in
existence are known as the Sinai tic,
the Alexandrian and the Vatican man
uscripts, the Christian Herald says.
The Slnaltlc was i'onnd by the -eminent
Bible scholar, Tlschendorf, In a con
Tent on Mount Sinai in 1844. It con
tains the Sertaagint, other parts of
tthe Old Testament, the New Testa
ment complete, and some of the apoc
ryphal books. The writing, after a
lapse of more than fifteen hundred
yearSf is gtni clear and legible. The
Alexandrian marrtcrript, which came
jto light In 1628, i3 not quite, so ancient
jas the Sinaitic It has the Old Testa
ment complete, except that ten leaves
are missing, and the New Testament
lacks nearly thirty leaves. It is in the
iBritish museum. . The Vatican man-
jiscrlpt the most ancient of all is a
igreat treasure, consisting of about
seven hundred leaves Of vellum bound
In book form. Fart of Genesis is
missing, and also a number of the
'psalms. The New Testament Is com
iplete up to Hebrews, ninth chapter.
Other early Bible manuscripts of great
value, but inferior to the three men
tioned are the Codex Ephraem and the
Codes Bezae, besides which there Is a
long list qt lateis manuscripts.
