A 4'th century manuscript of the Christian Bible is now available online. The pieces scattered in four libraries are now digitized and made available for free through the internet. The manuscript is written in nice and clear Greek characters and the language is also Greek.
The project to make this Bible available to the public is an ambitious one. They offer the transcript of the text(with some kind of apparatus) together with translation in English (incomplete as far as I detected) and the plan to offer translations also in German, Russian and Greek.
The software used to present the images resemble google maps' with zoom-in feature which, unfortunately, is not working very well. Nevertheless, I have confidence that the programmers will fix the issues very soon.
