EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Codex Sinaiticus, an extraordinary vellum manuscript that dates back to the 4th century AD. The Codex Sinaiticus, also known as the "Sinai Bible" is considered one of the four great uncial codices and holds immense historical significance. It was discovered in 1844 by Constantine Tischendorf within the sacred walls of St. Catherine's Monastery in Mount Sinai, Egypt. The photograph beautifully captures this ancient Greek handwritten copy of the Bible, which remains a celebrated religious treasure to this day. The intricate script on vellum reflects both its majuscule nature and its antiquity, transporting viewers back in time to an era when such manuscripts were meticulously crafted by hand.

This page from the Codex Sinaiticus represents not only a testament to faith but also serves as a tangible link between past and present generations. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we can appreciate every detail of this precious relic - each stroke of ink and delicate curve of lettering tells a story that spans centuries.
