#ssccm this is an accurate map of Egypt at the museum of the flight path of the Holy Family while fleeing from the tyrant Herod the Great who was trying to murder the toddler Jesus. The pictures are from the monuments erected where the family visited up the Nile valley and through the delta. The map maker is Ashraf Hanna, one of my students at @SSACS1979

The Leningrad Codex is the earliest complete manuscript of the Hebrew Scriptures. It was carefully copied in Cairo, Egypt, around AD 1008 from an even older, now-unknown manuscript. Today, this historic treasure is housed in St. Petersburg, Russia. A very limited facsimile edition of only 130 copies was printed in Jerusalem in 1970. It remains the primary foundation for the current standard edition of the Hebrew Bible. @HanyNTakla2 @SSACS1979 #ssccm

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. @HanyNTakla2 @SSACS1979

##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.

This is truly amazing #ssccm This is a full size replica of Codex Vaticanus, the most important and earliest nearly complete Bible in Christianity. The original was given as a gift to the Bishop of Rome by the King of Byzantium during the Council of Florence in the early 1440s. The replica is cut to the original size of the Velum (Parchment) original material. The papers were dipped in 6 different colors to match the original color. There are only 500 copies printed and only 350 were available for sale. It came with a companion volume of three essays about its importance and was individually autographed by Pope John Paul II. Originally copied in Egypt @HanyNTakla2 @SSACS1979

#SSCCM This is a second Papyri example of the Greek biblical manuscripts from Egypt. The original is preserved in the Dublin’s Chester Beatty Library. These papyri were bought in Egypt in the 1930 by an American Engineer who made his fortunate in the Railroad industry. He initially housed his collection in London, but Ireland offered him an Irish citizenship and he moved everything to Dublin and founded a major library there. @HanyNTakla2 @SSACS1979

Amazing history preservation #SSCCM. The first preserved Christian manuscripts of Scriptures were written in Greek in Egyptian papyri. This is one of these manuscripts that contain parts of Genesis and the Minor Prophets in Facsimile. The original is kept at the Freer Art Gallery in the Washington, DC Smithsonian Museums group. @HanyNTakla3 @SSACS1979
