Sotheby’s auction house sold a 1,100-year-old Hebrew Bible for $38 million in New York. It’s one of the world’s oldest surviving biblical manuscripts and brought the second-most highest price for a historical document at auction.

The 26-pound book, whose five-inch stack of parchment has 396 pages, sold after a five-minute battle between two bidders competing over the phone. According to the Wall Street Journal, the final price, including Sotheby’s fees, fell short of breaking the record held by a $43.2 million copy of the U.S. Constitution bought two years ago by billionaire Ken Griffin. In 1994, Leonardo da Vinci’s Codex Leicester sold for $31 million or around $60 million in today’s dollars.

In a statement, Sotheby’s said the Codex Sasson, a leather-bound, handwritten volume with an almost complete Hebrew Bible, was purchased by former U.S. Ambassador to Romania Alfred H. Moses for the American Friends of ANU and donated to the ANU Museum of the Jewish People in Tel Aviv, where it’ll join the museum’s collection.
