In this episode of Hebrew Voices #158, Sassoon Codex Under a Microscope, Nehemia speaks with Nelson Calvillo of the Institute for Hebrew Bible Manuscript Research about the most important Hebrew Bible manuscript in private hands, about to be sold at public auction. They analyze the erasure of God’s name using ultraviolet and infrared technology, show how anyone can access high-resolution photos of this priceless codex from home, and speculate about the exciting new frontiers of biblical studies.
