Marquette Bible, 3 vols.
The Marquette Bible is a thirteenth-century illuminated manuscript Latin Bible in three volumes, made by an unknown scribe and painter, probably in Paris, for a clerical or noble reader. Its pictures are small framed historiated initials with gold grounds and blue and red penwork, showing biblical figures in tight groups around beds and stage-like settings, useful to a designer for medieval page layout, decorated capitals, and gilded framing.
