Page:The Archko Volume (1896).djvu/64



is known that the Roman Emperor, Constantine, who was converted to the Christian religion, had fifty copies of the Scriptures made and placed in the public library for preservation. Some historian has said that they were so large it took two men to open one of them. While in Constantinople I found one of these volumes nicely cased, marked with the Emperor's name and date upon it. To me it was a great curiosity. I got permission with a little bachsach, as they call money, to look through it. It was written on hieotike, which is the finest of parchment, in large, bold, Latin characters, quite easy to read. As far as I read it had many abbreviations of our present Scriptures, but the facts, sense, and sentences are as full, and, if anything, more complete than our English version. I judge it to be about two and a half by four feet square, and two feet thick. It is well bound, with a gold plate, twelve by sixteen inches, on the front, with a cross and a man hanging on the cross, with the inscription, "Jesus, the Son of God, crucified for the sins of the world."
