LONDON — The Codex Sinaiticus, thought to be one of the world’s oldest Bibles, is going online this week in a project led by the British Library to reconnect all its 1,600-year-old parts that are spread across Europe and Egypt’s Sinai desert.

A preview of the manuscript, which dates from the 4th century and includes what’s believed to be the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament, will be available free July 24 at www.codex-sinaiticus.net, the library said. Read the rest here.

According to the Codex Sinaiticus site, this manuscript is more than 1600 years old, making it the world’s oldest Bible. The word Codex Sinaiticus, according to the site, means the Sinai Book.
