Title: The Most Beautiful Bibles
Description: Köln, Taschen, 2008. 319 pp, illustrations in full colour, hard cover and dust jacket. ¶ Texts by Andreas Fingernagel, Stephan Fussel, Christian Gastgeber, and a team of 15 scientific authors describe each manuscript in detail and explore the evolution of the Bible as well as the medieval understanding of history that is inherent in these versions of the Bible; also included is a glossary of important terms so that those not versed in bible history can enjoy the texts as well. This sumptuous publication of these rare and significant manuscripts - reproduced with the impeccable quality and modest price tag for which Taschen is known - is a truly divine event
