The Codex Sinaiticus-the oldest of the full extant manuscript Bibles-will
eventually appear in a digital form on an unprecedented venture.Made in Greek on parchment in the 4th century A.D., the Codex Sinaiticus
contained the canonical Old and New Testament books and two apocryphal, the
Gospel of Barnabas and the Shepherd of Hermas.The manuscript was preserved for many centuries at the Greek Orthodox
monastery of St. Catherine in the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt. Certain fragments
were gone with the time. No older Scriptural manuscripts have ever been
found.It will take approximately four years to implement the project, whose lump
cost is roughly estimated at 700,000 pounds. The Codex Sinaiticus will be
offered free for on-line reading and studies. A digital facsimile edition,
and a CD-Rom are also to come out.
