    Toulousee: Protest Against State Racism And Rascism
    A woman from the Jewish NGO 'Looking Occupation in the Eye' holds a placard reading 'Democracy and occupation cannot coexist'. Nearly one thousand people take to the streets against racism and fascism ahead of the International Day against Racism and Fascism. They protest against the rise of racism and the far right. They also denounce colonialism and the war on Gaza. They aim to raise awareness about people killed by police in France and elsewhere. They campaign for the opening of borders and the reception of migrants in Toulouse, France, on March 15, 2025. (Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto)

    The Most Valuable Printed Text or Historical Document Ever to be Offered at Auction:
    The Earliest and Most Complete Hebrew Bible to be offered in New York in May with an Estimate of $30-50 million, considered one of the most influential books in history

    The Bible is one of the world’s greatest treasures and holds powerful resonance for the three monotheistic religions and thier billions of adherents. For thousands of years its sacred words have been closely studied, analyzed, and meditated on. The Hebrew Bible is composed of twenty-four books divided into three parts: the Pentateuch, the Prophets, and the Writings. Christians call these texts the Old Testament, and Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant sects all incorporate them into their biblical canons. Muslims, too, regard the Torah and the Psalms as divinely revealed books, and many biblical stories made their way into the Qur’an and later Islamic works. Copied, printed, and translated into scores of languages the world over, the Hebrew Bible arguably constitutes the most influential book of human history and the bedrock of Western civilization. Codex Sassoon, created circa 900, is the earliest surviving example of a single codex containing all the books of the Hebrew Bible with their punctuation, vowels, and accents.

    The codex is named for its prominent modern owner, David Solomon Sassoon (1880-1942), who assembled the largest and most important private collection of Hebrew manuscripts in the world and had a special affinity for Bibles in particular. Some of the most valuable and important items in his library belonged to this genre of Hebrew literature. His collection catalogue, Ohel Dawid, begins and ends with biblical material, and Codex
