ANOTHER SCRIBE OR ANOTHER EXEMPLAR? EXAMINING TEXTUAL
PATTERNS IN CODEX SINAITICUS MATTHEW AND MARK
Peter Cresswell
26. The case by Cresswell, Invention of Jesus, pp. 84-88, that Codex Sinaiticus was not abandoned, but corrected to serve as an exemplar or master copy from which to make further copies, is also made by Klaus Wachtel. See Klaus Wachtel, ‘The Corrected New Testament Text of Codex Sinaiticus’, in Scot McKendrick et al. (eds.), Codex Sinaiticus: New Perspectives on the Ancient Biblical Manuscript (London: British Library, 2015), pp. 97-106. Accepting Ca as a contemporary eliminates the need to postulate a long delay between the preparation of the manuscript and its comprehensive correction.
