Provenance:
Produced in Italy ca. 1100. Folio is from a monumental Atlantic Bible, a production type originating in Rome and widespread throughout Europe in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. These texts were oversized as "Atlantic" refers to the giant Atlas, and they probably had use as liturgical visual aids (De amel, Chrostpher. "Giant Bibles of the Early Middle Ages." The Book: A History of the Bible (London: Phaidon Press, 2001), 64-91)."XXII" on the verso in pencil. "6007" on the recto in pencil. Purchased by Special Collections, Western Michigan University from the Mackus Company, Akron, Ohio on May 12, 2012.
