Handwritten bibles were commissioned and coveted by wealthy patrons. Surviving manuscripts include some of the world's most beautiful illuminated bibles featuring the finest calligraphy and illustrations.
That these items have retained their vivid colours is remarkable and in this publication they appear as fresh and colourful as if they were painted yesterday.
