The Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana (BAV) and the Bodleian Libraries of the University of Oxford, England, are collaborating on an important initiative, namely, to digitize and make available online some of the world’s most unique and important Bibles and biblical texts from their collections.

The website features images that enable detailed scholarly analysis and study. It also includes essays and a number of video presentations made by scholars and supporters of the digitization project. The website blog offers articles on the conservation and digitized techniques and methods used during the project. The website (http://bav.bodleian.ox.ac.uk) is available in both English and Italian.
