Many of us had wondered who purchased the Crosby-Schøyen Codex when it was up for sale through Christie’s last year. Now we know (via an August 5th article by Emily Belz at Christianity Today):
“The Green Collection, connected to the Museum of the Bible, revealed that it purchased the Crosby-Schøyen Codex, which contains what is perhaps the earliest complete versions of Jonah and 1 Peter, at an auction last year.”
The article mentions plans to digitize the codex and make it available online.
Addendum (6 August 2025): I see the Museum of the Bible has its own announcement about acquiring the codex here.
The codex sold last year for a reported cost of £ 3,065,000 (about $3,900,000 USD at the time).
