So cool to see technology being used to preserve ancient texts and make them widely available to the entire world.
"The ancient documents are now being preserved under the DigitaVaticana programme using FITS, the format developed by Nasa to store images, astronomical, and astrophysical data, and until now, only 500 manuscripts and 600 incunabula were available to view on the Vatican Library website. The Vatican has teamed up with Japanese firm NTT Data to digitise a further 3,000 manuscripts by 2018."
