The Founding Codex ISO Archive
The complete founding digital archive of Codex ISO: all eighteen currently published editions, supplied as separate source-aware PDFs with provenance, manuscript context and uncertainty kept visible.
One question.
Multiple witnesses.
The records in this collection do not all say the same thing, and they do not all come from the same community or period. The value is in reading them beside one another while keeping those differences visible.

Read the substantially complete text with both surviving witnesses identified and disputed authorship kept separate from the manuscript evidence.

The Epistle of Barnabas
Codex placement is kept distinct from claims about canonical status: this edition does not claim that a council removed the work from the Bible.
The Odes of Solomon
This is Harris's complete surviving English Ode body: no missing passage is silently supplied.
The Acts of Paul and Thecla
Tertullian's objection records a real controversy over Thecla, teaching and baptism; it does not establish the old catalogue claim of a single fourth-century suppression.
