Codex Sinaiticus: The World's Oldest Bible Goes Online

By Frederic Lardinois / July 6, 2009 9:10 AM / View Comments

codex_sinaiticus_logo.jpgThe Codex Sinaiticus is the oldest version of the Christian Bible in book form, and, according to many scholars, one of the world's greatest written treasures. The actual leaves and fragments from the book are in the British Library in England, as well as in various archives in Germany and Russia, and the St. Catherine's Monastery of Sinai, where the text was originally discovered. Starting today, however, anybody with access to an Internet connection and a modern browser can now see a virtual facsimile of the book online.
