Description
From the project website (accessed 2016-03-01):
- One of the core undertakings of the project was to capture each page of Codex Sinaiticus as a high-quality digital image. Each image offers a substitute for the real manuscript leaf. Careful imaging of Codex Sinaiticus therefore provides a life-like view of the pages and allows, for the first time, worldwide access to the manuscript.
- The digital photography of Codex Sinaiticus had to establish the best practice, taking into account that
- the leaves could not travel and had to be photographed at four different venues with different equipment;
- the writing on the leaves had to be readable on the digital images;
- the natural appearance of the parchment and ink had to be faithfully reproduced.
