Extant

By Robert Wilde, About.com

Definition: Surviving / still in existence. In the study of history, 'extant' usually refers to manuscripts and other documents which have survived the ages and are still in existence, and thus available to historians as evidence.
Pronunciation: ex-stant
Examples: A Greek translation of the Jewish scriptures was certainly made – indeed, the Greek is now the earliest complete version of Jewish lore extant – but the origins were very different.
