Current obsession and listening to - The Albinoni Adagio in G Minor.
Hmm, so this piece was NOT composed by Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni but by some dude called Remo Giazotto? Then why does it have Albinoni's name in it?

The Codex Sinaiticus is online!

We apparently get to view the original codex (although it's in pieces).. all 800 over pages!
I need to learn me some Greek now.. or it'd be like viewing the symbol chart on Microsoft Word.
I have a very amusing image of scholars hovering over a scanner, slowly placing each parchment over to scan it into the computer, in my mind.
