Just a note to those in or near Cambridge that Codex Bezae is said to go on display today at the University Library.
I was there a few days ago and saw them setting up, but the displays themselves were off limits. Hopefully I can get over there this weekend to see the great manuscripts. If you’re not in Cambridge, you can still view the manuscript online.
Other Biblical items on display include:

| Probably not the page they’ll put on display. |
Other Biblical items on display include:
- The Nash Papyrus – a 2,000-year-old copy of the Ten Commandments
- Codex Bezae – Famous 5th cent. New Testament manuscript
- Tyndale’s New Testament
- The Gutenberg Bible – the earliest substantive printed book in Western Europe (1454)
All the items on display are available for viewing online as well.
Update: I went over today and Bezae is on display along with the other items listed above. Also Codex Zacynthius, one of two (?) fragments of Origen’s Hexapla, a medieval Hebrew Bible, some papyri and other interesting books were on display. Unfortunately the the three- and four-year-old accompanying me were not as impressed as I hoped so our visit was cut short. I’ll have to go back.
