Bible Question: In what parts of the World other than the Vatican library could I find and actually look at historic biblical manuscripts? Also does anybody know any news on the findings of the Ark (Noahs) and the Ark of the Covenant? (i think thats the name for it) |
Bible Answer: Don't know if you're anywhere near Albury NSW Australia, they have a collection of Bibles on display at the moment (see article in paper below). Mon, Oct 18, 2004 Collection of Bibles museum attraction by HOWARD JONES TIME is running out for Border residents to view a rare collection of old Bibles, including one of the original King James Authorised Version printed in 1611. The Albury Regional Museum has an exhibition of the Bibles, including Lord Hopetouns 103-year-old leather-bound Bible that is still used to swear in governors-general. The museum has borrowed the Bibles from the Bible Societys Arrowsmith Memorial Library of historic scriptures in Sydney but must close the display next Sunday. Among the treasures are a 1495 Latin Vulgate Bible, a 1551 copy of William Tyndales New Testament, and what is thought to be William Shakespeares Bible from 1607. A Welsh Bible on display once belonged to Mary Jones, the same person whose struggle to buy a Bible in 1813 encouraged a London group to start the British and Foreign Bible Society, now known as the Bible Society. |
