Leather Nag Hammadi Style Papyrus Codex

Small Red Leather Nag Hammadi Style Papyrus Codex (2nd - 4th Century)
 
Small Red Leather Nag Hammadi Style Papyrus Codex (2nd - 4th Century) is a modern functional blank model of what one of the Nag Hammadi codices would have looked like new in the 2nd to 4th centuries.
 
This small codex is less than half the size of the actual historical reference used in its creation. It measures approx. 4.5" x 3.5" with two side ties and a main closure tie around the leather protective case and genuine Egyptian papyrus signature. There are traditional tickets to hold the text in place and leather stitches around the case. The blank textblock comprises 15 sheets of papyrus yielding 60 pages. 
 
The case is lined with papyrus, as the historical Nag Hammadis were. In the past, old text would be used to line the leather cases once discarded. The tickets allow a quick and easy change out of damaged pages or new text.
 
The papyrus is real and will accept ink and other media. 
 
Nag Hammadi is a city in Upper Egypt, located on the west bank of the Nile. In 1945, a collection of early Christian and Gnostic texts was discovered near the city, including the Nag Hammadi library. These texts are also known as the "Chenoboskion Manuscripts" and the "Gnostic Gospels".
 
The Nag Hammadi Codices are a collection of early Christian Gnostic texts, mostly translated from Greek into Coptic, originally written between the 2nd and 4th centuries AD.
