In the course of an ambitious project to compare all known texts of the Hebrew Bible in order to collate it, Oxford theologian Benjamin Kennicott (1738–1783) put together a remarkable collection of medieval Hebrew manuscript Bibles, many featuring exquisite illumination. This collection now resides at the Bodleian. View the wonderful objects in these collections at the Bodleian Libraries.
