This is cross miniature of a cross from a liturgical manuscript from late 18th century. The sponsor of the manuscript copying is writing actually inside the cross, named Eliah. It is part of the collection of @ssacs1979, housed in the museum #ssccm

This is truly amazing 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
#ssccm what is least known is the Jewish biblical tradition in Egypt in a codex rather than the customary scroll format. The oldest fragments (AD 895) were found in the 1880s in what is referred to as the Cairo Genizah. This facsimile edition was published in Israel in a limited edition of 160 copies.

This is a page from the digital collection of @SSACS1979 from a Coptic-Arabic Euchologion (Mass Book), dated AD 1675, written in Cairo, showing the artistic skills of the scribe.

@pwilsondtf Hi my blessed Luna

##ssccm. Codex Alexandrinus is the third of the three great Codices . It was written in Alexandria, Egypt in the mid 5th century, bought by the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Constantinople in 1621 and given as gift to King Charles I of England in 1627 as a grater of goodwill between the East and the West. It is significant in preserving the Epistle of Clement at the end, showing that what constituted a Bible included more than that we have now in the East and the West. It is kept at the British Museum  and later transferred to the London British Library in 1973. This edition done by the British Museum started with the New Testament in 1909 in the form of a reduced loose sheets facsimile in a slip cover binding. The Old Testament was produced by different editors in four volumes the same format starting in 1915 through 1957. The museum has the New Testament and the first three volumes of the Old Testament.  @HanyNTakla2 @SSACS1979

This is so very interesting! Thank you @HanyNTakla2 for sharing! @SSACS1979
#ssccm. This is a facsimile edition of the second oldest then complete manuscript of the Bible. It is larger in the page size than Codex Vaticanus. It was kept at the famed St. Catherine monastery in the Sinai desert. It was discovered in a mutilated state by the German Bible Scholar Constantine Tischendorff in the mid 19th century. He negotiated its acquisition by the Czar of Russia in exchange for Altar vessels for the monastery. Relations soured with the monastery after they realized its value. Stalin in the 1930s sold it to the British Museum for £100,000 funded by the monarchy and American Churches. In the early 1970s more fragments were discovered in the monastery. On the occasion of the year 2000, the British Museum published this full size color Facsimile edition of all the know fragments.
