Ancient Greek Manuscripts Now Online
All of this is free of charge...


LONDON – One of the world's most important caches of Greek manuscripts is going online, part of a growing number of ancient documents to hit the Web in recent years.

The British Library said Monday that it was making more than a quarter of its 1,000 volume-strong collection of handwritten Greek texts available online free of charge, something curators there hope will be a boon to historians, biblical scholars and students of classical Greece alike...

..."Not every scholar can afford to come here weeks and months on end," he said. The big attraction of browsing the texts online "is the ability to do it at your own desk whenever you wish to do it -- and do it for free as well."

Very cool in that they are not charging any fees. The article states that they want historians and researchers to have access whenever they want, instead of having to go to libraries.

Hmmm they've probably translated most, if not all. But a lot of translations depend heavily on interpretation...

Wow...looking at those documents is surreal...it's one thing to know they exist...but it's entirely a different feel when you can SEE the actual document...in such detail...whether or not I can read what is on it.

Nice.
