COMING SOON, new digital photos of Codex Sinaiticus, a fourth-century Greek manuscript that contains the oldest complete gospel collection and of Codex Washingtonianus, a fifth-century Greek Bible that contains an unusual ending of Mark (the cover, depicting the evangelists Luke and Mark, and dating to the seventh century, appears). The photos will greatly aid scholars and general readers, who often don’t have access to the delicate originals.
