What do you do with it?
Should this not be in a museum???
Where in london will that auction be?
This should be proof that the bible preached today is a fake, this original version has only 100+ pages, modern bibles have how many?.
This cycle of human stupidity, about older is better, therefor worth more is a fallacy just like the entirety of the Art world
