Codex Sinaiticus online.

One of the most important historical texts is now online for study.  Introduced today. 

 http://www.codex-sinaiticus.net/en/

From the website:

imageCodex Sinaiticus, a manuscript of the Christian Bible written in the middle of the fourth century, contains the earliest complete copy of the Christian New Testament. The hand-written text is in Greek. The New Testament appears in the original vernacular language (koine) and the Old Testament in the version, known as the Septuagint, that was adopted by early Greek-speaking Christians. In the Codex, the text of both the Septuagint and the New Testament has been heavily annotated by a series of early correctors.

You can view the document along with transliteration and translations in various languages.
