A tenth century Greek manuscript is a recent addition to the University of Cambridge’s Digital Library digitization program – in which rare and important texts are photographed and made available online.

The significant Greek text which could previously only be seen by a limited number of people, was photographed and made available, thus allowing readers to engage with the text in an active way — zooming in on the tiniest detail, browsing the entire document quickly and easily, linking it to related texts and further researching on the topic.

The book MS Ff.1.24, the code given to the Greek manuscript, comes from Constantinople and documents that were believed at the time to be the dying words of the sons of Jacob, the patriarchs of the Old Testament.
