The world’s oldest known version of the Bible is now viewable online:

This Bible, known as the Codex Sinaiticus, was discovered in 1844 at the Monastery of St. Catherine at Mount Sinai, where it had apparently been laying untouched for centuries.

…

The Bible is written in Greek and was transcribed by four scribes according to AP writer, Nardine Saad. It contains the entire New Testament but is missing parts of the Old Testament. The Deuterocanonical books are also, not surprisingly, contained within the pages of this Bible.

The Codex can be viewed online here, and information about it and the translation/digitization project can be found at the same site.
