Drop into The Rylands for a rare glimpse into the fascinating world of the earliest Bibles. Join curator Dr Jeremy Penner to discover how ancient biblical texts were meticulously copied by scribes, the unique practices involved, and the historical contexts in which these sacred manuscripts were produced. We’ll explore how these early versions compare to today’s Bibles—what’s remained consistent and what may have changed over time. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply curious about the origins of these texts, this event offers a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of the Bible’s rich and complex journey through history. Join us in the Historic Reading Room at the Library for this free event.
