The document describes various types of offerings in the Old Testament. The burnt offering involved burning the entire animal on the altar and was meant to atone for intentional sins. The grain offering consisted of flour, oil, and incense burned on the altar and was a thank or praise offering. For the fellowship/peace offering, parts were burned and other parts were eaten by the priest and worshipper to reinforce fellowship. The sin offering procedure varied based on the sinner (individual, community, priest, or leader) but aimed to atone for unintentional sins through blood rites. The guilt/trespass offering addressed unfulfilled duties and sins against others, requiring restitution.
The document provides an overview of key terms and concepts in hermeneutics including exegesis, eisegesis, and hermeneutics. It then covers several sessions on the history of hermeneutics from ancient Jewish hermeneutics through the Reformation period. The sessions discuss different interpretive methods like literal, midrash, pesher, and allegorical and examine views on inspiration, inerrancy, and the role of the Holy Spirit in interpretation.
The document summarizes key aspects of biblical covenants between God and humanity. It discusses the covenant with Noah as the most universal, requiring no human response. It also examines the Abrahamic, Sinaitic, and New covenants, noting they all reflect God's grace and require a response of faith.

The rare books come from the Isser and Rae Price Library of Judaica at the university and are mostly from the 19th and early 20th century.
The Library of Alexandria in Egypt was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world. It was established around 285-246 BC in Alexandria under the patronage of the Ptolemaic rulers, who aimed to collect copies of all known works and texts. At its height, the Library's collection contained an estimated 40,000 to 400,000 scrolls and became a major center of scholarship, with many famous thinkers and scholars working there. The Library declined over the centuries due to lack of funding and support, and is believed to have been destroyed by the third century AD.
The document is an introduction to the Book of the Dead from E.A. Wallis Budge. It provides context on previous editions and translations of the Book of the Dead. It outlines that this new edition aims to provide texts from several papyri to give the most complete version of the Theban Recension. It includes about 160 chapters, translations from 16 additional Saite Recension chapters, and utilizes the numbering system from Lepsius' edition to have consecutive chapter numbers. The goal is to produce a literal translation so readers can understand the contents of the Theban Book of the Dead for themselves.
1. The first libraries in ancient Greece were private collections amassed by scholars like Aristotle. Public libraries emerged in the 4th century BC.
2. The first major library was the Great Library of Alexandria, founded in 290 BC, which contained nearly 750,000 scrolls and employed a chief librarian and scholars.
3. Roman libraries were initially private collections seized during military campaigns. The first public libraries in Rome were established under Augustus and included collections on the Palatine Hill. The library in Trajan's Forum included Greek and Latin sections with about 20,000 volumes.

The document contains extracts from ancient Egyptian religious texts, including the Book of the Dead. It describes Ani and other souls worshipping gods and navigating the afterlife in the Field of Reeds. The text discusses passages from the Papyrus of Ani concerning the soul's journey after death and its acceptance into the blissful realm by completing rituals and affirming faith in the gods.
The document discusses the history and production of illuminated manuscripts from antiquity to the medieval period. It describes how monks in monasteries meticulously copied texts by hand to preserve knowledge during the fall of Rome. Different scripts like square capitals and Carolingian minuscule are explained. The production process, materials, and roles of scribes, rubricators, and binders are outlined. Examples of famous illuminated manuscripts through the centuries are provided.
This document provides an introduction to the book "Here & There Among the Papyri" by George Milligan. It discusses how the book was written to educate the public about the importance of papyrus discoveries in Egypt for understanding the New Testament. It also briefly introduces what papyrus is and the field of papyrology. Several important papyrus finds from the Oxyrhynchus trash heaps in Egypt are then summarized, including early fragments of the Gospel of Thomas, Epistle of James, and Elements of Euclid. Works by early scholars who studied the Oxyrhynchus Papyri like Grenfell, Hunt, Deissmann, Kenyon, Milligan and Moulton
The document discusses the origins of the King James Bible and differences between it and modern translations. It describes that the King James Bible was translated from the Textus Receptus, which is supported by over 95% of Greek manuscripts. Modern versions rely more on the Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus, which are only supported by about 5% of manuscripts and contain many errors and omissions compared to the majority. The document argues that while older, the Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus are not more reliable and should not be favored over the Textus Receptus and majority of manuscripts.
This document provides information on manuscripts related to the Bible from various historical periods and locations, including:
- The Siloam Inscription, one of the earliest Hebrew inscriptions dating to the 8th century BC
- Dead Sea Scrolls and Nag Hammadi texts, important early manuscript finds from the 1st-4th centuries AD
- Important early biblical codices like Codex Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, Alexandrinus from the 4th century
- Manuscripts from various regions and in different languages, such as Syriac, Coptic, Ethiopic, Arabic
- The development of the handwritten book and rise of scriptoria in medieval Europe with illuminated manuscripts
- Milestones
The document summarizes the Voynich Manuscript, considered the most mysterious manuscript in the world. It describes the manuscript's unknown script and illustrations and provides a history of its ownership from the 1600s to present day. It also summarizes three failed attempts to decrypt the manuscript's text and script, but to date it remains unsolved.
The School of Translators of Toledo flourished in the 12th and 13th centuries when translators worked to translate important scientific and philosophical works from Arabic and Hebrew into Latin and Castilian. Key figures involved included Archbishop Raimundo of Toledo in the 12th century and King Alfonso X in the 13th century who supported translations. Translations were often done by Mozarabs, Jews, and Christians and involved translating initially into a Romance language like Castilian before translating to Latin. Many important Greek, Arabic, and Jewish works of thinkers like Aristotle, Ptolemy, Galen, Al-Jwarizmi, Avicenna, Averroes, and Maimonides were translated. The translations
The House of Wisdom in Baghdad was a major intellectual hub during the Islamic Golden Age. It was established by Caliph Harun al-Rashid in the 8th century and functioned as a library, translation institute, and research center where Greek and other works were translated into Arabic. Original scientific works were also produced. It helped preserve knowledge and drive new discoveries, but its destruction by Mongol invaders in the 13th century contributed to the end of the Golden Age of Muslims. The translations and spread of knowledge from the House of Wisdom nevertheless helped spark the European Renaissance when its works were rediscovered after the dark ages.
The document discusses the 400th anniversary of the King James Version of the Bible. It summarizes the key events leading up to the creation of the KJV, including previous English translations by Tyndale, Coverdale, and the Geneva Bible. It then discusses celebrations taking place across Britain to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the KJV, including events, commemorative coins and stamps, and documentaries. The KJV is described as the most influential, bestselling, and beloved Bible translation of all time.
The Gospel of Barnabas is a book claiming to depict the life of Jesus as told by his disciple Barnabas. It contradicts the New Testament and aligns with Islamic beliefs. Two manuscripts exist from the 16th century, one in Italian and one in Spanish (now lost). It was likely written between the 14th-16th centuries in Istanbul by Sephardic Jews or Muslims expelled from Spain. While seen as a forgery, some believe it contains remnants of earlier apocryphal works. There is no scholarly consensus on its origin or reliability in depicting early Christianity.

Professional Digital Presence for the Librarian Reseachermputerba
Good Day,
Take the survey https://bit.ly/2ZlJvkR
My colleagues Heather Alexander, Dominican College, and Hua Sun, Shandong University of Arts, and I are researching the development of librarians as professionals. Part of this research comes in the shape of a survey found at https://bit.ly/2ZlJvkR. The study looks at one aspect of this research, the promotion of librarians as researchers.
Generally speaking, librarians conduct research as part of their work. Usually, this research involves day to day tasks such as the gathering usage statistics for ILL, databases, and the physical library. These are important within the institution. At other times the information gathered by librarians has practical implications for the profession as a whole and are shared in publications or conference presentations.
As part of our research, we want to know if and with what tools librarians promote their research as professionals. In particular, we are looking at the use of social media to create a professional digital presence.
Please help us in this study by taking the survey at https://bit.ly/2ZlJvkR . The survey takes less than 10 minutes. We are doing this solely for scholarly purposes.
If you would like to review the sites discussed in the survey, please see the presentation at https://bit.ly/2JxSfiR .

This document provides information and guidance for health sciences students on developing information literacy skills. It defines information literacy and health information literacy as the abilities needed to find, evaluate, and apply relevant information to make good health decisions. The document emphasizes that these skills are important for students' academic success and future professional work, when communicating health information and advising patients. It highlights authoritative library resources that can help students conduct reliable research.
Being information literate means having the skills to find, evaluate, and apply information. It involves more than just being able to read and write. In the digital age, there are many information sources available, so students need to learn how to navigate them. The example of buying a computer shows how information literacy works in practice - the person identifies their need, searches online to find options, evaluates the results, and ultimately makes a purchase decision based on the information gathered. To be successful in college requires developing these types of information literacy skills.
This document discusses different types of information sources for research: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary sources provide direct, first-hand evidence like speeches, letters, photographs. Secondary sources analyze or interpret primary sources, like books or articles about an event. Tertiary sources provide brief overviews without analysis, like encyclopedias or fact books. The document provides examples of each type and notes that the date of a source impacts whether it is primary or secondary. Researchers use tertiary sources for background and primary and secondary sources to construct their research.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
2. Introduction
The great uncial codices or four great uncials are the only remaining uncial codices that
contain (or originally contained) the entire text of the Greek Bible (Old and New
Testament).
Only four great codices have survived to the present day: Codex Vaticanus, Codex
Sinaiticus, Codex Alexandrinus, and Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus.[1] Although discovered
at different times and places, they share many similarities. They are written in a certain
uncial style of calligraphy using only majuscule letters, written in scriptio
continua (meaning without regular gaps between words).[1][2] Though not entirely
absent, there are very few divisions between words in these manuscripts. Words do not
necessarily end on the same line on which they start. All these manuscripts were made at
great expense of material and labour, written on vellum by professional scribes.[3] They
seem to have been based on the most accurate texts in their time.[citation needed]
3. The Four Uncials
All of the great uncials were written on fine vellum, with the leaves arranged in
quarto form.[4] The size of the leaves is much bigger than in papyri codices:[5][6]
Vaticanus – 27 × 27 cm (10.6 × 10.6 in); c. 325–350
Sinaiticus – 38.1 × 34.5 cm (15.0 × 13.6 in); written c. 330–360
Alexandrinus – 32 × 26 cm (12.6 × 10.4 in); c. 400–440
Ephraemi – 33 × 27 cm (13.0 × 10.6 in); c. 450

4. Codex Vaticanus
The Codex Vaticanus (The Vatican, Bibl. Vat., Vat. gr. 1209; no. B or 03 Gregory-
Aland, δ 1 von Soden) is one of the oldest extant manuscripts of the Greek Bible
(Old and New Testament), one of the four great uncial codices.[1] The Codex is
named after its place of conservation in the Vatican Library, where it has been kept
since at least the 15th century.[2] It is written on 759 leaves of vellum in uncialletters
and has been dated palaeographically to the 4th century.[3][4]
The manuscript became known to Western scholars as a result of correspondence
between Erasmus and the prefects of the Vatican Library. Portions of the codex were
collated by several scholars, but numerous errors were made during this process.
The Codex's relationship to the Latin Vulgate was unclear and scholars were initially
unaware of the Codex's value.[5] This changed in the 19th century when
transcriptions of the full codex were completed.[1] It was at that point that scholars
realised the text differed significantly from the Textus Receptus.[6]
5. Vaticanus one of the best Greek texts.
Most current scholars consider the Codex Vaticanus to be
one of the best Greek texts of the New Testament,[3] with
the Codex Sinaiticus as its only competitor. Until the
discovery by Tischendorf of the Sinaiticus text, the Codex
was unrivaled.[7] It was extensively used by Westcott
and Hort in their edition of The New Testament in the
Original Greek in 1881.[3] The most widely sold editions of
the Greek New Testament are largely based on the text of
the Codex Vaticanus.[8] Codex Vaticanus is regarded as
"the oldest extant copy of the Bible."[9]

6. Larger Cambridge Septuagint
The older critical edition, known as the "Larger Cambridge
Septuagint," is a diplomatic text, reproducing Codex
Vaticanus with a critical apparatus with variant readings
from other manuscripts. Edited by Alan E. Brooke, Norman
McLean, and Henry St John Thackeray, this series is
incomplete, with only Genesis through Esther from the
Protestant OT as well as 1 Esdras, Judith, and Tobit from the
Apocrypha ever published:" Originally published in series
from 1906 to 1935 in 8 parts.
Scans of the Old Testament in Greek are found in the Internet
Archive.
7. Codex Sinaiticus
Codex Sinaiticus (Modern Greek: Σιναϊτικός Κώδικας, Hebrew: קודקס
;סינאיטיקוס Shelfmarks and references: London, Brit. Libr., Additional
Manuscripts 43725; Gregory-Aland nº א [Aleph] or 01, [Soden δ 2])
or "Sinai Bible" is one of the four great uncial codices, an ancient,
handwritten copy of the Greek Bible. The codex is a celebrated
historical treasure.[1]
The codex is an Alexandrian text-type manuscript written in the 4th
century in uncial letters on parchment. Scholarship considers the
Codex Sinaiticus to be one of the best Greek texts of the New
Testament,[2] along with the Codex Vaticanus. Until the discovery
by Constantin von Tischendorf of the Sinaiticus text, the Codex
Vaticanus was unrivaled.[3]
8. Saint Catherine's Monastery
The Codex Sinaiticus came to the attention of scholars in the 19th
century at Saint Catherine's Monastery in the Sinai Peninsula, with
further material discovered in the 20th and 21st centuries. Although
parts of the codex are scattered across four libraries around the
world, most of the manuscript is today vested in the British
Library in London, where it is on public display.[4][5] Since its
discovery, study of the Codex Sinaiticus has proven to be useful to
scholars for critical studies of biblical text.
While large portions of the Old Testament are missing, it is
assumed that the codex originally contained the whole of both
Testaments.[6] About half of the Greek Old Testament
(or Septuagint) survived, along with a complete New Testament, the
entire Deuterocanonical books, the Epistle of Barnabas and portions
of The Shepherd of Hermas.[2]

9. The Sinaiticus Project
The Codex Sinaiticus Project is an international
collaboration to reunite the entire manuscript in
digital form and make it accessible to a global
audience for the first time. Drawing on the expertise
of leading scholars, conservators and curators, the
Project gives everyone the opportunity to connect
directly with this famous manuscript.
[Find out more about the Codex Sinaiticus Project.]
10. Codex Alexandrinus
The Codex Alexandrinus (London, British Library, MS
Royal 1. D. V-VIII; Gregory-Aland no. A or 02, Soden δ 4) is
a fifth-century manuscript of the Greek Bible,[n
1] containing the majority of the Septuagint and the New
Testament.[1] It is one of the four Great uncial codices.
Along with the Codex Sinaiticus and the Vaticanus, it is
one of the earliest and most complete manuscripts of
the Bible. Brian Walton assigned Alexandrinus the capital
Latin letter A in the Polyglot Bible of 1657.[2] This
designation was maintained when the system was
standardized by Wettstein in 1751.[3] Thus, Alexandrinus
held the first position in the manuscript list.[4]
11. From Alexandria, Egypt
It derives its name from Alexandria where it resided for a number of years
before it was brought by the Eastern Orthodox Patriarch Cyril Lucaris from
Alexandria to Constantinople.[5] Then it was given to Charles I of England in
the 17th century. Until the later purchase of Codex Sinaiticus, it was the best
manuscript of the Greek Bible deposited in Britain.[n 2] Today, it rests along
with Codex Sinaiticus in one of the showcases in the Ritblat Gallery of
the British Library.[6][7] A full photographic reproduction of the New
Testament volume (Royal MS 1 D. viii) is available on the British Library's
website.[8] As the text came from several different traditions, different parts
of the codex are not of equal textual value.[6][9] The text has been edited
several times since the 18th century.[citation needed]
Read the article on Wikipedia.
See the digitized version of Codex Alexandrinus available from the British Library.
12. Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus
Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus (Paris, National Library of
France, Greek 9; Gregory-Aland no. C or 04, von Soden δ
3) is a fifth-century Greek manuscript of
the Bible,[1] sometimes referred to as one of the four
great uncials(see Codex
Sinaiticus, Alexandrinus and Vaticanus). The manuscript is
not intact: in its current condition, Codex C contains
material from every New Testament book except Second
Thessalonians and Second John; however, only six books
of the Greek Old Testament are represented.
13. Ephrem the Syrian
The manuscript is called Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus
because (a) it is a codex, i.e., a handmade book; (b) its
parchment has been recycled; originally inscribed
with Scriptural texts, the pages were washed
(removing most of the ink) and reused for another
text, and (c) the text that was written on the recycled
pages, in the 12th century, consisted of Greek
translations of 38 treatises composed by Ephrem the
Syrian, a prominent theologian of the mid-4th
century. Manuscripts of this sort, consisting of
recycled pages, are known as palimpsests.[1] The
later (or, "upper") text was written in the 12th
century.
14. Noteworthy Scholars
Many scholars have expounded our
understanding of the importance of
the Four Great Uncials for the study of
the Greek Bible. Here are a few whose
works are available on the Internet.
15. Constantin von Tischendorf
Lobegott Friedrich Constantin (von) Tischendorf (18 January 1815 – 7
December 1874) was a world leading biblical scholar in his time. In
1844[citation needed] he discovered the world's oldest and most
complete disputed Bible dating from 325[citation needed], with the
complete New Testament not discovered before. This Bible is
called Codex Sinaiticus, after the St. Catherine's Monastery at Mt. Sinai,
where Tischendorf discovered it. The codex can be seen either in the
British Library in London, or as a digitalised version on the
Internet.[1] Textual disputes are resolved when the two oldest books,
Codex Sinaiticus (source aleph, 4th AD) and Codex Vaticanus (source
beta, 4th AD), agree with each other. Tischendorf was made an Honorary
Doctor by Oxford University on 16 March 1865, and an Honorary Doctor
by Cambridge University on 9 March 1865 following this find of the
century.[2] While a student gaining his academic degree in the 1840s, he
earned international recognition when he deciphered the Codex
Ephraemi Rescriptus, a 5th-century Greek manuscript of the New
Testament.

16. Henry Barclay Swete
Swete's works on Biblical texts are of high importance. In
1887 he published the first volume of his edition of the
Greek text of the Old Testament, completing the series in
1894 (3rd ed. 1901-7), while in 1898 appeared the Greek text
of the Gospel of St. Mark, with notes and introduction (2nd
ed. 1902) and in 1906 that of the Apocalypse of St. John (2nd
ed. 1907).

17. Erasmus
Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus (/ˌdɛzɪˈdɪəriəs ɪˈræzməs/; 28 October
1466[1][2] – 12 July 1536), known as Erasmus or Erasmus of
Rotterdam,[note 1] was a Dutch Renaissance humanist, Catholic
priest, social critic, teacher, and theologian.
Erasmus was a classical scholar and wrote in a pure Latin style. Among
humanists he enjoyed the sobriquet "Prince of the Humanists", and has
been called "the crowning glory of the Christian humanists".[3] Using
humanist techniques for working on texts, he prepared important
new Latin and Greek editions of the New Testament, which raised
questions that would be influential in the Protestant
Reformation and Catholic Counter-Reformation. He also wrote On Free
Will,[4] In Praise of Folly, Handbook of a Christian Knight, On Civility in
Children, Copia: Foundations of the Abundant Style, Julius Exclusus, and
many other works.

18. Herman C. Hoskier
Herman Charles Hoskier (1864–1938), was a biblical scholar,
British textual critic, and son of a merchant banker, Herman
Hoskier (1832–1904).[1]
Hoskier, as textual critic, generally but not entirely supported
the Byzantine text-type against the Alexandrian text-type. He
compared, in Codex B and It Allies, the text of Codex
Vaticanus with Codex Sinaiticus, and showed how many significant
disagreements the best witnesses of the Alexandrian text have.
Hoskier attempted to demonstrate that Vaticanus presents a text
which has been conformed to the Coptic versions. Hoskier
compared text of the Minuscule 700 with the Textus Receptus and
exhibits 2724 differences.
Hoskier collated every known Greek manuscript of
the Apocalypse up to 1918. This took 30 years. The result of this
work was published in 1929 (Concerning the Text of the
Apocalypse). Hoskier shows parallels between Papyrus 46 and the
Ethiopic Version in the Pauline epistles.[2]
