Focusing on the early Greek whole-Bible manuscripts, the analysis reveals how these pandects both preserve and alter biblical texts. Dormandy challenges traditional methods by examining variations introduced by scribes, particularly in key chapters from John, Romans, Revelation, Sirach, and Judges. His findings suggest that notable manuscripts like Sinaiticus and Vaticanus may have originated from commissions by Constantine and Constans. Ultimately, the study highlights the pandects' role in unifying diverse texts, reflecting a significant shift in the perception of the Christian Bible as a cohesive corpus.
