The Greek Orthodox Monastery of Saint Catherine at Mount Sinai, built by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian, holds the second most important library in the world after the Vatican. For several years now, there has been an ongoing effort to digitize part of its library to prevent the loss of its invaluable contents.

What most people do not realize is that the content of this library is truly remarkable. I have been studying it for quite some time now and can share some information based on what has been digitized so far. Over 1,100 manuscripts have been digitized so far (approximately 30.000 in total maybe more), with the oldest I have identified dating back to 700 AD till late 1800's.

Among the Christian Byzantine texts, there are also outstanding manuscripts, such as works by Athanasios Komnenos, the Apostles, Chrysostom, Aristotle, and Homer, as well as medical texts by Hippocrates. An Hippocratic work includes a plant that appears to have been used as a remedy for scorpion stings.

There are many, many thousands of works by great minds preserved here.

The monastery stands at the crossroads of the three monotheistic religions and is known to have been visited by the greatest religious and philosophical figures—regardless of their faith—who would come to this living library to study alongside the monks and be educated by the immense wealth of knowledge preserved there.

In the photo, you can see part of a manuscript of Homer’s Iliad from 1397, which is housed at the Monastery of Saint Catherine.

A truly unique library filled with priceless knowledge.

REMINDER that Van Gogh painted "The Starry Night" in a mental asylum, Dostoevsky wrote "The Gambler" to pay off gambling debts, and Dickens wrote "The Christmas Carol" when he was broke and his wife on their 5th child. Stress has produced more art than "slow saturdays" ever will

In terms of Ukraine, Trump's instincts are very good, he needs to stop listening to people around him and stick to his guns.

The Mexican drug cartels are a far greater threat to the United States than China, Russia or Iran, says Doug Macgregor. They’ve got Javelin missile systems on our border, and American officials on their payroll.

European leaders are moving all in with a seven-deuce offsuit. I call.

Gonzalo Lira was an American citizen arrested in Ukraine for posting YouTube videos critical of the Zelensky regime. He then died in a Ukrainian prison, exactly as he predicted in his last public statement. Dictator is as dictator does.

EUROPE - A lesson in explaining irony.

Donald Trump’s Economic Masterplan: Trump’s tariff fixation is part of a global economic plan that is solid, not at all irrational, albeit grossly destabilising and potentially calamitous. Ignore at own peril. https://t.co/u73aMtEnlw

@yanisvaroufakis @VictorTheClean3 Very informative article.

[Versan | Black Swan Capitalist @VersanAljarrah]

@ElonMusk You’ve commented on #Bitcoin and Dogecoin, but haven’t given us clarity on #XRP yet. We already know it’s the only regulated asset gaining global adoption. Doesn’t it make sense to integrate XRP into X for payments?

This could redefine payments on X.

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

At least $176 billion.

That is the value of all the proposed resource projects on this map that have died under the radical anti-development agenda of the Liberal government of Trudeau, Freeland, Guilbeault & Carney. Now, we are more reliant than ever on the U.S. market.

Fire the woke radicals. Repeal C-69.

I will periodically publish accounts I subscribe to on @X that you may want to consider supporting as well. Worst case, consider following them.
