Also made an initial visit to a site in Arglam, which is due to commence in March. This month s talk at HOSM Social Club looked at the development of York from its Roman Fortress and colonia origins (Eboracum) to the present day. Noting how much of the medieval walls were built on the alignment of the original Roman walls. Also how York was contained within those walls until the mid 1800 s when industrial growth, particularly concerning the railways allowed the expansion outward, gradually encompassing the surrounding villages which are now known as the Greater York area. Jorvik Viking Festival This is the 32 nd festival which will be held between 15 th to 21 st February There will, as always be a number of events to attend, including talks, walks and re-enactments. To find out about more go to: 1
2 Snippets from Arthur s Guide to York THE MANSION HOUSE, by the side of the Yorkshire Fine Art and Industrial Exhibition building. Built by Henry VIII., as a residence for the Lords President of the Council of the North when he suppressed the monasteries, the council being established for the summary punishment of offenders against the royal will in the risings of the North occasioned by the suppression. It was built of materials taken from St. Mary s Abbey. James I had it repaired, and added most of the present front, intending to use it as a palace while moving between England and Scotland. The Earl Stafford, the last President, made alterations in the middle wing and interior, placing C.R. (Charles Rex) on various parts, and his own arms elaborately over one of the doors, which formed one charge against him at his trial, having placed his own arms on one of the royal palaces. Charles resided here after leaving London, whence he issued his commission of array before leaving to raise the standard at Nottingham. The building is now used as a school for the blind, founded in 1834 as the county memorial of William Wilberforce, in which sixty blind children are instructed in various useful handicrafts. In returning notice the wall on your left, a portion of that built in 1319 to protect St. Mary s Abbey. Arthur s Guide to York c.1889 Today we call this building as the King s Manor and it was originally the Abbot s house of St. Mary, having been retained following the dissolution. Alterations would have started during Henry VIII s reign to accommodate the Council of the North but most work dates to Elizabeth I s time. As the guide above says, Charles I s coat of arms is displayed over the front entrance. The Council was abolished in 1641, at which time the building was divided into apartments and leased out. The Yorkshire School for the Blind was founded in 1833 and from 1870 the manor was restored and enlarged. In the 1890 s a gymnasium was built and a cloister, creating the second courtyard, and the Principles house in The school left in 1958 and it was acquired by York City Council. It was then leased to the University of York in 1963, originally for the Advanced Architectural Studies department. Further restoration work was carried out, removing some older buildings and building a modern tutorial block. Now accommodating the Archaeology department and Conservation studies.

3 The Codex Sinaiticus The Codex Sinaiticus, named after the Monastery of St. Catherine, Mount Sinai, where it had been kept, is the oldest known version of the Christian Bible, generally dated to the 4 th century, written in Greek. Although it may have been seen in 1761 by Vitaliano Donati, when visiting the monastery, who described in his journal a Bible comprising leaves of handsome, large, delecate, and square-shaped parchment, written in round and handsome script. It is Constantine Tischendorf who is credited for its discovery. In 1844 he visited the monastery and was initially shown a number of leaves of the Old Testament, and according to his account, he obtained 43 leaves, which he took back to Leipzig in Also in 1845 Porfirij Uspenskij obtained fragments of two pages which were taken to Russia. Tischendorf returned to the monastery in 1853 and again in It was on 4 th February 1859 that he states he first saw the 347 leaves of the Codex. Realising their importance and need for transcribing, he requested that the leaves be transferred to Cairo, which was done on 24 th February. Tischendorf was allowed access to the manuscript and then in September he signed a receipt for the loan of the 347 leaves and took them to St. Petersburg. Further examination and transcribing of these leaves took place and in 1862 a printed facsimile was published and presented to the Tsar, Alexander II. In 1933 the Codex was sold by Joseph Stalin to the UK, wishing to raise foreign capital, for 100,000. It was delivered to London on 26 th December, and the following day placed on public display at the British Museum. In 1975 further leaves were discovered at the monastery and remain there. The Codex Sinaiticus Project This project was made by the collaboration of partner institutions and others. Teams from UK, Germany, Russia, Egypt and USA form the Project Board. Together they continue to ensure the conservation of the manuscript have digitised, translated and made it more accessible to the public via their website. Reference: Images: 3
