“The Hebrew Bible is the sacred, foundational text for peoples across the globe. For thousands of years, the faithful have closely studied, analyzed, mediated on, and delved into the Holy Scriptures—it is the first book of the People of the Book—to acquire wisdom and attain spiritual enlightenment. In Codex Sassoon, a monumental transformation in the history of the Hebrew Bible is revealed, bringing to light the full story of the Hebrew Bible that had previously never been presented in book form. Codex Sassoon marks a critical turning point in how we perceive the history of the Divine word across thousands of years, and is a transformative witness to how the Hebrew Bible has influenced the pillars of civilization–art, culture, law, politics—for centuries.” Sharon Mintz, Sotheby’s Senior Judaica Specialist, Books & Manuscripts
