Internet: Codex Sinaiticus (almost) available to all
The oldest Christian Bible has been collected from the four sites around the world where it has been kept for more than 150 years. Almost 2,000 years old, and written in Greek, it is, the British Library says, the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament - and is missing only parts of The Old Testament and the Apocrypha. But it's too popular for its own good.

As from yesterday,Codex Sinaiticus was launched on the internet at www.codexsinaiticus.org. But the immediate effect of making such a work available online was to crash the webserver due to demand.
Indeed, as this story is written, more than 24 hours after the launch of the book, the website returns a "Service Unavailable" response.
According to the project director, Juan Garces, the bible was written by only four scribes.
The British Library is running an exhibition about the work until 7 September.
A contemporary of the Codex Sinaiticus is the Codex Vaticanus but the New Testament is incomplete in that version.
