For reasons beyond your understanding or control, you have been given the task of copying one book or document that will be preserved for over a thousand years. You have to write it out by hand, on vellum, in India ink. The text must be copied exactly, but you can make notes and add illustrations. You have one year to decide what you will copy out and ten years to complete the job. What do you choose to save?

The reason I ask is that this is from a manuscript copied in about 730AD of the Psalms from the Bible. It has the Latin text from Jerome, copied exactly, plus it has letters to and from the Pope about the text, and even a section of the text translated in "English," for the first time. Someone had to sit there in a miserable, cold, dark monastery, day after day in the early eighth century, writing it, and still, to this day, it is clear and smooth and easy to read. I don;t give much of a fuck about the Psalms, and maybe he didn't either, but the fact that it survives and is readable and even amusing, just fucking kills me. I would like to do something like this and I don't know what I would choose.
