According to an article in USA Today, a 1,100 year-old copy of the Hebrew Bible has been auctioned for $38.1 million. Named for David Solomon Sassoon, a collector of Judaica and ancient manuscripts who purchased the codex in 1929, Codex Sassoon is considered one of the earliest complete copies of the Hebrew Bible. The buyer was a group known as the American Friends of the ANU Museum of the Jewish People; they plan to donate the codex to the museum in Tel Aviv.
