He also he he commissions books of the Bible to be written. And so this is where we first get our understanding. Like when we think of a Bible. We think of it as like in a single bound volume, like because we have the 66 books of the Bible and, you know, has a nice cover on the page or on the front. But in the ancient world, those existed independently.

So like P52, like that would be a separate copy of the Gospel of John. And that's what it would have been understood as scripture. Well, Constantine, as like a peace offering, commissions all of these documents to be brought together and published in one book. And so we actually have what we think are some of these documents.

So when I was talking with Billy Carson, he brought up the Sinai Bible, Codex Sinaiticus. Codex Sinaiticus is probably one of these documents that Constantine commissioned because it's one of our earliest examples of a cover-to-cover Genesis to Revelation copy of the Bible. And it comes from the fourth century.

And based on both its dating and based on the fact that this would have been incredibly expensive to make, like it took 360 sheep just to put together, which would have been the equivalent of like. I don't know, tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars today.

So the reason why we're pretty sure that documents like Codex Anaticus, Codex Vaticanus, potentially even Codex Alexandrinus or Codex Washingtonianus are documents that could have been part of this commissioning is just because they're such giant documents. giant projects in, you know, very few people would have had the ability to produce something like this other than an emperor.
