Ever since Classical Greek in undergrad, I've had a strong interest in both classical and New Testament Greek.

Would that my Greek were better!

The world's oldest Christian Bible has been digitized. The site is dog slow, but I'm assuming that it is under load right now because of the news articles about it.

The Greek lettering in the upper right doesn't exactly match what I expected -- they used what looks to me like a "C" symbol at the ends of some words. It threw me for a minute, although I think it's correct. It's the Sigma at the end of a word, and I expected it to look more like "∫", But I think the Sigma at the end of a word does look like "ς", which is what is shown in the upper right of the screen.
