Description
From the project website (accessed 2016-01-14):
The Sinai Palimpsests Project is a collaboration of St. Catherine’s Monastery of the Sinai and the Early Manuscripts Electronic Library, generously funded by Arcadia over a five-year period. Its primary goals are to:
- Make erased ancient texts in St. Catherine’s palimpsests legible using spectral imaging.
- Identify the erased texts and describe their palaeography.
- Publish an online digital library of Sinai palimpsests featuring high-quality digital images that are searchable through an electronic catalog.
