Early Bibles (Hebrew & Christian): digitized texts
The Aleppo Codex Online gives access to a digitized copy of the oldest existent manuscript of the Hebrew Bible, dating from about 930. The online copy contains all the surviving pages of the Codex and is both browsable and searchable.
There are also linked articles about the history and significance of the Codex from the 10th century to the present day.
The website is hosted by the Ben Zvi Institute for the study of Jewish Communities in the East (Jerusalem)
The Codex Sinaiticus gives access to a digitized manuscript of the Christian Bible, dating from the 4th century. It is handwritten in Greek. The New Testament in the original vernacular (koine) and the Old Testament is in the early Septuagint version. Both documents are heavily annotated by early commentators.
Click on the "see the manuscript" tab to view the pages and transcription of the Greek text, and to browse and search the document. Background material on the history of the manuscript is also included.
This project was the result of international collaboration to reunite the previously scattered pages of the manuscript
Both links will shortly be added to SOAS Library online resources.
