Sirach 14:26
4Q Beatitudes
An ancient Hebrew wisdom scroll from Qumran Cave 4 written in a Herodian-era square script. The manuscript is famous for preserving a series of blessings, or 'beatitudes', that praise those who walk in the path of wisdom and keep the law, offering a fascinating parallel to the form and style of teaching found in the Gospels.
Codex Vaticanus
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.
Codex Sinaiticus
Codex Sinaiticus is one of the most celebrated and important books in the world. Handwritten well over 1,600 years ago, it contains the Christian Bible in Greek, including the oldest surviving complete copy of the New Testament. Originally discovered at St. Catherine's Monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai, its surviving leaves are now preserved across four libraries worldwide, with the largest portion held at the British Library.
