Rare opportunity
The old documents with the Ten Commandments, you can now find online thanks to the Cambridge Digital Library. The library has received support from, among other Polansky Foundation to digitize the unique fonts, so they are now available for everyone.
- We have a rare opportunity to showcase these documents. And when we ask them, we can only display a page or two, because the documents are so fragile, says University Librarian Anne Jarvis said in a statement.
She continues: - Anyone who has an Internet connection can find the work they require, scroll to the script and examine it in detail.
