A truly astonishing manuscript, and on a personal note for me generates a real sense of awe (of course it’s available for research, but it’s not fetched out often or lightly, and when it is produced handled personally by @theUL’s Head of Conservation and Heritage @iamkristinesr).
The French theologian Theodore Beza was born #OTD in 1519. In 1581 he presented us with one of our greatest treasures, the so-called Codex Bezae: a copy of the New Testament in Greek & Latin, written around the year 400 & one of the earliest surviving Biblical manuscripts.
