The Kennicott Bible is a lavishly illuminated manuscript from medieval Spain, finished in 1476. The hand-written Tanakh (Pentateuch, Prophets, Haggiographa) is completely vocalized and contains all the cantillation marks (accents). It received its name from the English Hebraist Benjamin Kennicott (1718-1783) who did extensive research on various Hebrew manuscripts. Today, the Kennicott Bible is one of the treasures of the Bodleian Library, Oxford.
On this site you can view every page of the beautifully illuminated Kennicott Bible.
For $9,625.00 you can purchase a facsimile of MS. Kennicott 1. It is worth visiting this site anyhow (even if you should decide against the purchase); it provides a lot of background information on the manuscript and introduces the making of the facsimile – quite fascinating and very beautiful.
