| The University of Texas has digitized its entire two-volume
| Gutenberg Bible
| and posted portions of it on its library Web site:
| http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/exhibitions/permanent/gutenberg/ .
| While other
| copies of the famed Bible have also gone digital, officials at the
| university's Harry Ransom Center say their copy is the best
| of the lot,
| because it was in use in monasteries in Southern Germany as
| late as the
| 1760s, and was heavily annotated by monks who scratched out
| some passages
| and corrected others. Other sections were highlighted for
| reading aloud or
| for use during Mass. "Our copy is the most interesting in the
| world," says
| head librarian Richard Oram, and Paul Needham, of Princeton
| University's
| Scheide Library, agrees: "This is probably the most
| extensively annotated
| and corrected copy surviving. This is a very great treasure." The
| digitization project began in June 2002 and the finished
| product gives Web
| viewers 7,000 images of the unique manuscript. (AP 23 Jul
