Musings of a Catholic Convert

You're going to have issues getting onto the manuscript page until they solve their bandwidth issues.  Right now they can only have 100,000 concurrent visitors.  The good news is that the rest of the site loads fast and provides excellent insights into the Codex, albeit from a non-Catholic source.  It is interesting to note, however, that this text, along with Codex Vaticanus, help show the canonical tradition of our Old Testament as we have it and not as the Protestants changed it after the 16th century (or the Jews of the 3rd century).  The LXX (Septuagint) version of the Old Testament is still being used, which, and you can argue textual variations all you want, contained the Deuterocanonical books.  This codex also shows us some other texts that were in use in the early Church, but which were not part of the canon.

I really want to get in there and use that tool.  We have to remember though that this is one of the biggest things to hit the internet since my blog began back in 2003.  Give it a few weeks and traffic should slow enough to give a glimpse.  As for me, this browser window will remain open all day as I work, so that I might get a peek into the text and the embedded tools.
