Biblia Sacra could only be realised thanks to the friendly cooperation of many libraries and scholars.
The database was designed by the Digital Production Centre (DPC) of the University Library of the Universiteit van Amsterdam. The technical realisation, management and infrastructure of Biblia Sacra is also in hands of the Digital Production Centre. The website was designed by Trilobiet Internetdiensten.
