ABOUT 800 pages of the earliest surviving Christian Bible have been recovered and released on the net.
More than half of the 1,600-year-old Codex Sinaiticus manuscript has been pieced together in a joint effort between institutions in the UK, Germany, Egypt and Russia.
Now hi-res digital images of the recovered pages of the 4th century book – written in Greek on parchment leaves – are available at www.codexsinaiticus .org and the British Library is staging an exhibition from today until September 7.
