OLDEST LITURGICAL BOOKS TO BE SOLD


Being shown is one of the oldest books in existence, the
Crosby-Schoyen Codex.

One of the oldest Christian liturgical books is expected to sell
for more than $2.6 million at an auction in London.

The Crosby-Schøyen Codex was written on Egyptian papyrus
from around 250-350 A.D., and produced in one of the first
monasteries.

"It’s right at that period, that transitional period, when papyrus
scroll starts turning into codex form," Eugenio Donadoni,
Christie’s Senior Specialist, Medieval and Renaissance
Manuscripts,
told Reuters. "So, books as we know them
today. What we have in this book is the earliest known texts
of two books of the Bible."
