A 4th century CE Christian Bible manuscript with about half of the Old Testament and the earliest known complete copy of the New Testament is now on the Web. Named the Codex Sinaiticus, pages and fragments can be viewed and magnified. Some sections are only transcribed to the Greek language, but the site promises that more will be translated as the project progresses.

Browser Tips
Simple Computer Browser Tips
If you are having computer problems try these tips first:
1. Quit your browser (not just close it).
On a Mac “closing” an application does not “quit” the application.
2. Clear your cache.
Some browsers, such as Firefox, are often set up to clear (empty) your cache automatically.
If you need help with this send an e-mail to the library: refdesk@itp.edu and we will help.
3. Restart your computer.
This often fixes a multitude of problems.
Browser Settings for Better Access
Check these settings:
1. Don’t block pop-ups.
Pop-ups can be annoying, but many databases / Web sites don’t work properly without them.
2. Accept third party cookies.
This is usually a medium privacy setting.
If the above suggestions do not help, the problem may be with antivirus software and/or firewalls.
If you need help with these settings send an e-mail to the library: refdesk@itp.edu and we will help.

Focusing and Gendlin on the Web
Dr. Eugene Gendlin is known for his development of Experiential Therapy and for his work on Focusing.
The Gendlin Online Library, a part of the Focusing Institute site, has an excellent collection of documents about focusing to read and download.
"The articles are grouped by theme and within each theme there are further groupings to guide the user. The most substantial sections of the library are the Philosophy of the Implicit and Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy thematic groups." - Gendlin Online Library
