From the article:

The Bible was left behind by canons and forgotten about until it was found, according to legend, in a Delemont attic in the late 1810s or early 1820s. It was sold to an antiques dealer in 1822.

It was eventually sold to the British Museum in 1836 for £750, or $93,600 in today’s money.

I did not read the article, ok. I went and read it but still I have questions. How did it get into a private attic if it was in a Catholic Monastery, when that region went protestant, someone must at that time shut down the monastery and then took the Bible and put into a private persons hand, obviously not a Catholic.

Still trying to figure out who did this wonderful Catholic Bible produced by Benedictine Catholic Monks wind up in Protestant hands in Delemont in a private persons attic.

It is in Latin and is in reality our Bible (Catholics).
