product description
From a world lit only by fire, some of the most beautiful Bibles were created, illuminated, and enlivened with breathtaking illustrations.Within The Bible Illuminated you will be introduced to kings and queens, monks and nuns, scribes and artists, librarians and historians, as well as modern-day collectors all hoping to preserve history by putting personal touches on their own copies of the most influential book of all time - the Bible. Discover the geographical, theological, and historical contexts of these documents as well as how illustrations disseminated the Bible among a mostly illiterate population.
