Wow! Whatever you think about the Catholic Church, you have to thank them for not only creating this, but for preserving it for 13 centuries. As a Northumbrian myself I’m surrounded by the remnants of ancient churches, monasteries, cathedrals and other sites of religious significance.
Beautiful Bible!
That is a huge book, especially for how old it is! Very impressive!
I dont even think it requires protective glass, someone might get a hernia even if they attempted to hug it and waddle out the door with it
There is an excellent and informative chapter on Codex Amiatinus in Christopher De Hamel’s “Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts: Twelve Journeys into the Medieval World.”

The expression in the thumbnail was me wrapping up today's studies. 😂
I always miss Dr. Zucker when he's gone, but Dr. Breay's accent and boots cannot be denied!
I can't believe the dimensions of this thing... And Ceolfrith might be among the top 3 coolest names ever.
Nice: Thanks.
We got to visit the Bede Museum at Jarrow Hall in Sunderland. Really good. I forgot about this book! 🤦♂️
That’s a big book!
Love this but one little thing it’s saint Aidan with an A and not saint Aiden (2:51) :)
I'm just here to learn.
They don’t say if this Bible has been or going to be digitised?
It is available in printed form: the Weber-Gryson Vulgate
what about the codex gigas? is that right? sorry, I'm just a newbie...
Fascinating - how was it determined that the script had been changed? (Did I miss something? :-) )
If you look closely you can actually see a slight darkening of the page around those red words that indicates an earlier erasure by pen knife. I would assume that they've probably also done some chemical and ultra violet testing to be able to determine the original wording.
@@Lambonius Thank you - I couldn't tell if the darkening was simply my computer screen, or if I was seeing an actual slight change in the light. :)
Strange that this video is a duplicate.. I should've known there was a reason I was alone in the previous one. 😅
Oops! Yes there was a typo in the first.
@@smarthistory-art-history Copy. I migrated my comment to this video in case you guys want to delete the duplicate video.
