Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat, to drink and enjoy oneself in all one’s labor in which he toils under the sun during the few years of his life which God has given him; for this is his reward. Ecclesiastes

Thanks for the info. I wonder if this is the raw text, or, if they cleaned it up?

Never be afraid to do something new. Remember, amateurs built the Ark, but professionals built the Titanic.

They say there on the site "Its heavily corrected text is of outstanding importance for the history of the Bible and the manuscript - the oldest substantial book to survive Antiquity - is of supreme importance for the history of the book."

What do they mean by that?

I think they're referring to all the correctors throughout its history. There were quite a few of them. H.J.M. Milne & T.C. Skeat of the British Museum wrote a book detailing this in Scribes and Correctors of Codex Sinaiticus (London, 1938)

It's really only useful for historical purposes.

"Whatever the cause, the Calvinists were the only fighting Protestants. It was they whose faith gave them courage to stand up for the Reformation. In England, Scotland, France, Holland, they,... did the work, and but for them the Reformation would have been crushed... If it had not been for Calvinists,... and whatever you like to call them, the Pope and Philip would have won, and we should either be Papists or Socialists." ~ Sir John Skelton
