The earliest known Christian manuscript that dates back to the third century was recently auctioned for more than $3 million in London.
The Crosby-Schøyen Codex, which is considered the earliest Christian liturgical book and contains the earliest complete texts of 1 Peter and Jonah, was sold at Christie’s for a total of £3,065,000 or $3.9 million on June 11th.
According to the auction house’s website, the Crosby-Schøyen Codex is part of the Bodmer Papyri, a set of texts discovered in 1947 that included Biblical texts, Christian writings, and some non-Christian literary texts. It is also known as “the Dishna Papers” because of their discovery in Dishna, Egypt. More Here
