Wealthy collectors of Jewish historical items will have a chance to purchase something really old when the Codex Sassoon, a nearly complete Hebrew Bible dating back to the early 10th century, goes on sale at Sotheby’s on May 16.
The Codex Sassoon is missing around 12 leaves , according to Sotheby’s. The missing portion includes the first 10 chapters of the Book of Genesis, according to The New York Times.
That copy of the Constitution had a low estimate of $15 million, according to The Wall Street Journal. Notes in the margins of the manuscript detail its early history, including its sale between two Jewish merchants in what is now Syria circa 1000, as well as its dedication to a former synagogue.
