Jewish History Uncensored #134 - The Sassoon Codex
In this episode we look at the importance of the Sassoon Codex. The Sassoon Codex is going to be auctioned by Sotheby’s May 16. The estimated opening bid is 30 million. What is a Codex? Who was Sassoon? Why is this book identified with him?
What makes this sefer so important? Are there any new revelations that we can expect to see in this Codex? How do we understand the differences in learning in the time before the printing press? How rare were sefarim before this?
