Virtual Unification of the Earliest Christian Bible: Digitisation, Transcription, Translation and Physical Description of the Codex Sinaiticus

This paper describes the deployment of innovative digitisation methods and new web technologies to reunify the oldest Bible – the Codex Sinaiticus – and to make it available to wider public. The conception of the website development has begun in late 2006 and the first stage of the development will allow free access to the website of this eminent part of the cultural heritage in 2008, which only has been possible through the close collaboration between international partners.
