What sources are used for the Christian Bible translations? When I was looking in the store to buy a bible, I noticed that the different bible translations not only differ in their style of translation, but also in the sources they use.


What are the sources used in common bible translations?
Wikipedia has a good list of the various sources used:


Septuagint
Masoretic
Syriac
Dead Sea Scrolls
Vulgate
Samaritan Pentateuch
Textus Receptus
Codex Bezae
Codex Sinaiticus 
Codex Vaticanus
other fragments and partial texts
