Allepo Codex
Posted: 09/24/04 6:46 PM
For you textual criticism fanatics out there, you might want to take a look at something. The PaleoJudaica blog pointed me to a site dedicated to the Allepo codex, and manuscript of the Old Testament.
First of all, you will definitely want to have some sort of broadband connection to view the mss. The viewer is done in Flash and it loads all the images up for a book at one time, so if could be very slow for dialup folks. There is also some nice information about the manuscript.
Aesthetically, I find it rather pleasing. As far as content is concerned, what is available is fine, though it is apparently not finished. Not all of the books of the OT are available and a number of the links are working for me. But, still cool anyway.
