The Sinai Palimpsests Project

The Sinai Palimpsests Project is a collaboration of St. Catherine’s Monastery of the Sinai and the Early Manuscripts Electronic Library, generously funded by Arcadia over a five-year period.  Its primary goals are to:

  • Make erased ancient texts in St. Catherine’s palimpsests legible using spectral imaging. 
  • Identify the erased texts and describe their paleography. 
  • Publish an online digital library of Sinai palimpsests featuring high-quality digital images that are searchable through an electronic catalog.
