Description
The oldest known near-complete Hebrew Bible is presented to the press in Tel Aviv, where it will be displayed for a week before going under the hammer in New York. The Codex Sassoon is one of only two codices, or manuscripts, containing all 24 books of the Hebrew Bible -- the Christian Old Testament -- to have survived into the modern era and is estimated to be 1,100 years old.
