Oldest New Testament Bible heads into cyberspace

Quote:

From Thursday, sections of the Codex Sinaiticus, which contains the oldest complete New Testament, will be available on the Internet, said the University of Leipzig, one of the four curators of the ancient text worldwide.

High resolution images of the Gospel of Mark, several Old Testament books, and notes on the work made over centuries will appear on www.codex-sinaiticus.net as a first step towards publishing the entire manuscript online by next July.

The Center for the Study of NT Manuscripts already has the entire NT of Sinaiticus scanned online. I have an index to these scans available on my site.

However, it will be very good news when the OT books of this important codex are uploaded, as well.

Ben.

ETA: I forgot to mention that the Resurgence Greek Project has an even snazzier interface which will roughly highlight the Greek verse in question for you!
