Dear list,
What online bible versions for general references would you suggest?
I am interested in any biblical text freely available online, the can be clearly addressed (preferably on the verse level) and that provides a reliable version of the Septuagint, Hexapla, Greek New Testament, Vulgate, Vetus Latina, Arabic, Syriac and Coptic text, as well as translations into modern languages such as English, Irish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese etc. As for the Vulgate, the Septuagint, the Hebrew OT and most of the translations I think I'm happy with http://www.bibleserver.com but this is most likely just the symptom of being ignorant ...
Any hint to lists or overviews of biblical mss (such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_New_Testament_Latin_manuscripts) are most welcome too.
Many thanks in advance for any remark or advice, Franz

Dear Franz,
Have a look here:
The parallel tab will let you display many versions in parallel. If you would like even a larger assortment of languages than what is on the left column, you can visit:
You can address a specific translation and verse with an URL like:
http://crosswire.org/study/passagestudy.jsp?mod=NHNU&key=jn.3.16#cv
You can pull raw data with an URL like:
http://crosswire.org/study/fetchdata.jsp?mod=WHNU&key=jn.3.16
Hope this is useful.

I myself use www.unboundbible.org by Baylor U. There's also a nice little program called Vulsearch that has a Vulgate, Douay Rheims, and the Glossa Ordinaria that I use frequently too.
As for lists of biblical manuscripts, the register of Greek New Testament manuscripts (Gregory - Aland, Kurzgefaßte Liste) is online as part of the New Testament Virtual Manuscript Room (NT.VMR), at: http://intf.uni-muenster.de/vmr/NTVMR/ListeHandschriften.php
For the front door to the VMR, see: http://intf.uni-muenster.de/vmr/NTVMR/IndexNTVMR.php
A database of Coptic manuscripts is at: http://intf.uni-muenster.de/smr/ Some transcriptions may be found at: http://www.biblia-coptica.com/
I hope soon to increase the list of Latin biblical manuscripts and links to images at www.vetuslatina.org
Finally, for the Gospel according to John, don't forget to visit www.iohannes.com
Best wishes, Hugh Houghton
