These papers introduce facets of Newton’s personality and work that the public has never before encountered. They are evidence of the great lengths that Newton went to in trying to decipher writings that, in his opinion, contained secret knowledge encrypted in the Holy Scriptures of ancient cultures and in historical documents. Exemplifying perfectly this type of research are Newton’s efforts to produce knowledge of scientific significance from the Biblical and Talmudic descriptions of the Tabernacle and Temple.

There're 3 different formats available to inspect: the writings in Newton's own hand, "a ‘diplomatic’ version that includes all the changes and corrections as they appear in the original manuscript, and a ‘clean’ version that enables a continuous reading of the text."

All together, some 7,500 pages of Newton thought never collectively revealed before...

...but now available free to the entire world.

BTW: within those pages Newton famously predicts the apocalypse for 2060.
