Mitch, the number changes frequently (especially now that the CSNTM are so active). The INTF provide updates (but not as frequently) on their webpage: ...
I have discussed this and shown some examples at 'The Gospel of Mark in Codex Sinaiticus: Textual and Reception-Historical Considerations' TC: A Journal of...
Mitch, usually just a handful of MSS are newly catalogued every year by INTF. I think it would probably be fair to say that CSNTM's work will raise the number...
Well thanks to Daniel and James for their help on this. One might conclude from your comments that I support the idea that any sort of shoddy scholarship is OK...

Why do some writers make a distinction between documents that are canonical and documents that are scripture? What is the difference between a document that is...
Mitch, There are two views on canon. First, some view canon as the selected works the early Church (3-4th century) voted on (i'm simplifying here) and thus to...
