A 10th Century Bible

We went to see this most extraordinary Hebrew Bible, the earliest known complete Codex dated c 900, at Sotheby’s in London today where it is on display prior to auction in New York for only an estimated $40million!

I think one of my favorite sites in Jerusalem was the Shrine of the Book where a classmate and I read the scroll of Isaiah and found The Name- we were so excited that we could read it. This must have been amazing to see.

@olivetreeann - wow, that’s amazing - we were at the Book of the Shrine too many years ago, my hubby was drooling there as well

[John Falconer]

$40m and I don’t even read Hebrew!!! Great shot. Lovely angle.

I saw that in the news here in the States. I thought for sure that the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC would end up owning it.
I'm jealous that you got to see it wth your own eyes.

[Bob Zwolinsky]

I just hope it does not end up just being kept in a bank vault.

[Renee Salamon]

@bob65 agreed
