摘要

The world's oldest Bible is in bad shape. The "Codex Sinaiticus" is scattered across four countries and its vellum pages, having lasted more than 1,600 years, are in a fragile state. That is why, earlier this month, curators at the British Library in London announced an ambitious plan to digitise it. They propose to scan the entire book using a technique called hyperspec-tral imaging. Not only will this create a high-resolution copy, it will also allow scholars to examine the numerous corrections and overwritings in the text of the codex. The effort will take four years, and cost around ￡680,000 ($1.3m). "Sinaiticus" is so called because, for most of its history, it resided at St Catherine's monastery on Mt Sinai, one of Christendom's oldest continuously functioning monastic communities. The book, dated to the mid fourth century by scholars using contextual evidence such as the divisions between chapters and the sort of uppercase script that is employed, was kept at the monastery until 1859. Since then, bits of it have ended up in Leipzig, St Petersburg and London, though the monastery still has some of it and continues to claim ownership of the lot.
