Bible du XIIIème siècle (Part 1: Genesis – Psalms)
A thirteenth-century Latin Bible manuscript, produced around 1250 in France, most likely for a lay or clerical patron, preserved in a Swiss library and digitised by e-codices. Its pictures are gold-ground historiated initials and roundels in blue, red and gold, with compact text columns beside them. A designer might take from them the tight pairing of medieval border ornament with small framed scenes and decorated capitals.
