This fully illustrated exhibit describes a wide selection of manuscripts from our collections that contain texts of the three Abrahamic faiths: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It includes extraordinary jewels of a centuries-long textual and artistic tradition, such as a tenth-century manuscript of the Pentateuch, papyrus leaves with the earliest known copy of the Epistles of St. Paul, and a selection of exquisitely illuminated manuscripts of the Qur'an.
