☆ World's oldest near-complete Hebrew Bible sells for $38.1 million
  + stars: | 2023-05-17 | by ( Aleksandra Michalska Christine Kiernan | Aleksandra Michalska | Christine Kiernan | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The price surpasses the $30.8 million paid in 1994 for Leonardo da Vinci’s Codex Leicester manuscript, Sotheby's said. The document offers a critical link bridging Jewish oral tradition to the modern Hebrew Bible. The auctioneer said the Codex Sassoon had been dated to either the late 9th or early 10th century on both scientific and paleographic grounds and contains almost the entirety of the Bible. The Hebrew Bible contains 24 separate books organized into three parts — the Pentateuch, the Prophets, and the Writings. Starting with the book of Genesis and ending with Chronicles, the Hebrew Bible is foundational to Judaism, as well as Christianity and Islam.
