ONE of the oldest copies of the Bible, which has been scattered around the globe for more than a century, will be put online today.
The Codex Sinaiticus will be available as a complete book for the first time since it was unearthed at a monastery in Egypt in 1844, thanks to a £1 million project.
The British Library has digitally reconnected the manuscript, which has been housed in libraries in the UK, Russia, Egypt and Germany.
