Hi all,

Anyone looking for a decent public domain Greek text might like this.
Diego Santo's transcription of the 1904 Nestle text. Looks pretty
usable, and it has no restrictions whatsoever on usage.

Wow, I looked at the FAQ and turns out that he used our Manuscript Comparator to do the transcription!

How did you make the transcription?
Since Nestle largely adopted a majority reading of Westcott-Hort, Tischendorf and Weiss texts, I did almost the same. I used the Manuscript comparator to inspect the differences between Westcott-Hort and Tischendorf texts (One example from Mark 3). Where WH and Tischendorf agreed, the text is also Nestle. Where they disagreed, I compared with the scan of the printed edition.
