What is the oldest Bible manuscript (New Testament) that is still in existence? I know the Dead Sea Scrolls are really old, but they don't have the New Testament. Does anyone know what the oldest manuscripts are, and where are they?

This version, called The Old Latin Vulgate (or Itala), is known to have been in existence by AD 157. Church father Turtullian, in his own writings dated around 200 C.E, cited various Latin quotations directly from The Old Latin Vulgate. This "original" vulgate (Latin) version continued to be used for nearly a millennium, until Latin basically ceased being a common language. www.allabouttruth.org/oldest-bible-version-faq.htm |
