Subject

Bible Latin Vulgate - Medieval Mauscripts

Description

Example of "Paris Vulgate" tradition, single-volume with books in canonical sequence. As was typical of the Paris Vulgate tradition, the only spaces allotted for illustrations were the interiors of the initials, which received either a portrayal of the author of the biblical book or a concise depiction of the book's central narrative.
