You can see the world's most expensive book during an exhibit at SMU. The Codex Sassoon is a 1,100 year old bible expected to sell at auction in May for $30 to $50 million dollars.
On Monday, SMU's Bridwell Library began the installation of a new exhibit, the centerpiece of which will be the world's most valuable book."Older texts, many times, have greater importance because there's a connection to that past," SMU Bridwell Library Director Anthony Elia said."It's also believed to be the most valuable book in the world at this point, depending on what it fetches at auction at Sotheby's in May.
The Codex Sassoon is expected to sell at auction for between $30 million and $50 million. It is coming from Tel Aviv to be part of the SMU exhibit, which is the only university in the world to host the exhibit. Other rare religious texts that are part of the SMU Bridwell Library collection will be on exhibit with the Codex Sassoon.
"So the St. John's Bible was made in Collegeville, Minnesota," said Elia looking at a large-scale Bible that is just over a decade old.Local
