The Bible
A collection of books on the Bible in production, illumination, interpretation, translation and publication. The collection includes books produced by the British Library and scholars such as Christopher de Hamel; books on specific Bibles (such as the Gutenberg Bible and the Macclesfield Psalter); dictionaries and encyclopaedias of the Bible; more general books on illuminated manuscripts and bookbindings; and even Rosnin's The Bible Code. Also included is the Turner published Bible using illustrations from the Vatican Library. A broad overview both of the Bible as a text and as an object, capturing the ways people reacted to the beauty of its words with beauty of art and design. [39]
