THE ALEPPO CODEX

THE ALEPPO CODEX

DESCRIPT:
A THOUSAND YEARS AGO, THE MOST PERFECT COPY OF THE HEBREW BIBLE WAS WRITTEN. IT WAS KEPT SAFE THROUGH ONE UPHEAVEL AFTER ANOTHER IN THE MIDDLE EAST. BY THE 1940S IT WAS HOUSED IN A DARK GROTTO IN ALEPPO, SYRIA, AND HAD BECOME KNOWN AROUND THE WORLD AS THE ALEPPO CODEX. JOURNALIST MATTI FRIEDMAN'S TRUE LIFE DETECTIVE STORY FOLLOWS THE TRAIL OF THIS PRECIOUS MANUSCRIPT - SMUGGLED FROM ITS HIDING PLACE IN SYRIA INTO THE NEWLY FOUNDED STATE OF ISRAEL - TO REVEAL HOW AND WHY MANY OF ITS SACRED AND VALUABLE PAGES WENT MISSING DURING THE JOURNEY.
