Great Idea

Like so many other great ideas that seem obvious after someone states them, this is not an exception. In a discussion with Elisa Freschi about easy sanskrit texts for begginers, she suggested that it is easier to read texts that one is familiar with. This is how I come to remember that once I stumbled upon a Sanskrit translation of the Bible. For the westerner who, in most cases, was raised as Christian, this is indeed an easy and sometimes fun text to read. Here are the links:
Sanskrit Bible Vol 1 (5 books of Moses and the book of Joshua)
Sanskrit Bible Vol 2 (historical books from judges to Esther)
Sanskrit Bible Vol 3 (poetical and devotional books from Job to Canticles)
Sanskrit Bible Vol 4 (prophetical books)
New Testament in Sanskrit
Enjoy!

Codex Sinaiticus is online

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.
