A Hebrew Bible more than 1,000 years old sold for US$38.1 million in New York on Wednesday, setting a record for the most valuable manuscript ever sold at auction.
The Bible was bought by former US diplomat Alfred Moses on behalf of an American nonprofit that will gift it to the ANU Museum of the Jewish People in Tel Aviv, Israel, Sotheby's said. The most expensive historical document remains one of the first prints of the US Constitution, which Sotheby's sold for $43 million in November 2021.
The manuscript bridges the Dead Sea Scrolls — which date back as early as the third century BC — and today's modernly-accepted form of the Hebrew Bible.
