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 digitize it.

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. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.economist.com/science/displayStory.cfm?story_id=3786393 " target="blank">www.economist.com/science/displayStory.cfm?story_id=3786393 </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
