Codex Sinaiticus

Abstract

Much effort was put into the digital edition of the Codex Sinaiticus, one of the oldest and most complete Codices of the New Testament. Whereas the material is conserved in four different places, this edition reconstructs a virtual codex, transcribing the text and offering documentary data for easy and deep access to the material. It can be described as a high quality project that aroused great public interest. At the same time, a printed facsimile edition was published allowing for a comparison of the two editions.
