If you can read Old Greek, you're in for a real treat. If not, you're in for "selected translations," which is almost as nice. Hey, at least the Codex Sinaiticus, scribed about 350 A.D. and containing the oldest known versions of the New Testament and some of the Old, won't be translated by Google's (or anybody else's) automated mess.
For you Biblical scholars out there, the codex is disappointingly post-Constantine, but delightfully (presumably) pre-Jerome.
High resolution images of the Gospel of Mark, several Old Testament books, and centuries-old notes on the texts will be uploaded to www.codex-sinaiticus.net on Thursday. Might want to bookmark that because sinaiticus is kind of hard to spell—reallyreallyoldtestament.com might have come across as a little flippant, though.
The website is posted in columns of English and German since the manuscript comes to the Web via the Leipzig University Library after being shelved there in the 19th Century by a Russian biblical scholar who pulled a fast one on some Mount Sinai monks.
Yes, the Mount Sinai, hence the confusing Latin title, even if this text was written in Greek by Egyptians, they think.
Whoever copied it down, the director of the university says, "It's also an enrichment of the virtual world - and a bit of a change from YouTube."
If you want to get technical, professor, with all those editors, Wikipedia would have been a better comparison.
