Early Bible Text Starts
Controversy.
! An ancient Spanish manuscript,'
known as the "Coder, Huutlng
tonianus Palimpsest us” to a few
scholars who have seen it in the
vaults of the Hispanic Society of
America, in New York City, is the
subject of a controversy between
Biblical scholars, who either af
firm or deny the manuscript is
I the earliest version of the Bible
1 and that it differs radically from
I tlie _ generally accepted versions.
! The manuscript was brought here
in 1907. having 'been stolen from
; a monastery in Spain. After por
i ing over it for weeks, Dr. E. S.
. Buchanan, decipherer of many old
I manuscripts''for the British Mu
seum, now a teacher in Ardsley
Towers Prep School, announced
that he had discovered the Bible
text embedded with a steel pen
in the vellum, from which the ink
had beeu erased.
