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.

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.

Yeah. Great question. So this is the issue of what's sometimes called the canon of scripture. Right.

It's that you have this chain of custody that goes back to the earliest Jesus community. Jesus has disciples. And there's a group of individuals who we call the apostolic fathers who are the disciples of Jesus' disciples.
