Description: Codex Sinaiticus graecus 3 is considered as one of the best Greek manuscripts; it consists of 246 folios, written on excellent quality parchment; its condition is very good with minimal losses; contains the "Book of Job" with commentaries and protheoria of Olympiodorus, Deacon of Alexandria (end of 5th ce. A.D.). Olympiodorus interprets the text allegorically, following the Origenic tradition. Although 14 Greek manuscripts have survived with the "Book of Job", only the Sinai codex represents the drama in a quasi-cinematic manner, employing dense illustration. The high quality of the miniatures, the delicate use of colour (that approaches the technique of pastel), the gold both on clothing and frames, recall works created in the famous Monastery of Studios at Constantinople. This facsimile is printed on excellent quality paper (170 gr.).

The accompanying volume contains the introductory texts:
