Description:
Thirteenth-century, French leaf from a Parisian pocket bible including a portion of the Latin Vulgate: Deuteronomy 7:8-9:15. This bible leaf of small format is a typical example of a 13th century Parisian manuscript production. In addition to large-scale deluxe manuscripts, books of a hand-held variety were produced from the beginning of the 13th century onwards; owing to the use of extremely thin parchment and a tiny script measuring only a few millimeters (called 'pearl script') they could include the entire Scriptures in a single codex.
