A late Hasmonean copy of the Book of Deuteronomy from Qumran Cave 4, dating to around 50 BCE. It is notable for its close alignment with the Hebrew textual tradition that was used by the ancient translators of the Greek Septuagint.

An early Herodian copy of Deuteronomy found under the floor of the ancient synagogue at Masada in what was likely a genizah (a storage chamber for worn-out sacred scrolls). Its text is almost identical to the standard Masoretic Text, demonstrating the stability and authority of the Hebrew biblical tradition by the time Masada fell in 73 AD.

This beautiful 4th-century Greek manuscript of the Book of Daniel was remarkably preserved by being recycled into the stiffened book cover (or 'cartonnage') of an early Coptic Christian Bible. Discovered in Upper Egypt near the ancient city of Hermopolis Magna, it serves as a wonderful early witness to the Greek transmission of the prophet Daniel during the late antique Christian monastic era.

Codex Vaticanus is one of the oldest and most valuable surviving manuscripts of the complete Greek Bible. It has been securely housed in the Vatican Library since at least the late 15th century and is celebrated for its elegant script written on very high-quality vellum.
