One of the oldest books in the world, a copy of the Egyptian Bible, which is considered to have revolutionized Christian research, is up for auction.

The British daily Telegraph reported on the 9th (local time) that Crosby-Sch ø, a Christian liturgical book known to have been written around the 3rd and 4th centuries, will be auctioned at Christie's in London on the 11th.

The estimated auction price is 2 million to 3 million pounds (about 2.51 billion won to 5.27 billion won).

A 104-page copy of the Bible, written in Coptic on Papyrus by an Egyptian monk, contains some of Bedro and Jonah. The book was discovered after being buried for about 1500 years for unknown reasons.

"The Crosby-Shoen Codex is one of the three major discoveries of the 20th century that revolutionized Christian research," said Eugenio Donadoni, Christie's senior expert in books and manuscripts.

This is because it is the data of the time when Christianity was first spread around the Mediterranean, and you can see early Christians who were still devoted to Jewish tradition but defined themselves as "Christians" distinguished from it, he explained.

Crosby-Schoen Codex was owned by the University of Mississippi until 1981, but has since been owned by Martin Schoen, a Norwegian book and handwritten collector, since 1988. In addition to Crosby-Shoen Codex, Schoen will offer 61 collections, including 13th-century Hebrew manuscripts, at the auction.
