A rare, handsomely illustrated 14th century Hebrew Bible will soon go on public display after being sold at auction for $6.7 million at Sotheby’s New York on Sept. 10.

The Shem Tov Bible is described as “a tour de force of biblical and kabbalistic scholarship and a precious witness to the medieval tradition of Sephardic book art.”

It was completed by Rabbi Shem Tov Ibn Gaon in the northern Spanish city of Soria in 1312.
