Your best bet if you don't want to do a lot of work is to set up a
second wiki, point it at the same database, disable editing, and strip
out the UI bits from the skin template.

Hi Brion,
this sounds good. I just did it, but I still have the edit links in the
page. How can I disable editing. I did not found, how to configure it.
Many thanks

Removing only the links won't disable editing, as users could just append
'&action=edit' to the URL. I removed the relevant bits from index.php to
prevent editing:

case "edit":
case "submit":
if( !$wgCommandLineMode && !$wgRequest->checkSessionCookie() ) {
User::SetupSession();
}
require_once( "includes/EditPage.php" );
$editor = new EditPage( $wgArticle );
$editor->$action();
break;
