Birthday Gift for Peter!

Hello!

If you’ve been given this link, it’s probably because you love Peter! For Peter’s birthday this year we would like to show him the love by buying him a very special present. A colleague of Peter’s has heard about a book that would mean a lot to Peter, but it doesn’t come cheap!! So if we all group in together then we might be able to get him something that will blow him away.

The book is the Codex Sinaiticus: Facsimile Edition. For those who would like to know more, here is a discription of it:

After an extraordinary and historic collaborative effort by the British Library, the National Library of Russia, St. Catherine's Monastery, Leipzig University Library, and Hendrickson Publishers, all the extant pages of Codex Sinaiticus have been brought together in print form to a worldwide audience in this handsomely bound, one-of-a-kind, facsimile edition. Drawing on the expertise of leading scholars, conservators, and curators, and painstakingly photographed using the latest digital technology, this facsimile edition provides a lifelike view of the original pages of the Codex. The generous trim size, protective cloth covering, and slipcase make this volume an attractive part of any biblical scholar's library. The Codex would be a stunning addition to a church, university, or seminary library, as well as to a museum or personal collection.

Peter visits the Codex Sinaitcus regularly at the British Library. So whilst this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, trust us when we say this would mean a lot!
