Description: | Most medieval Bibles contains the 'Vulgate' version of the text, which was translated from Hebrew into Latin around the year 400 by St. Jerome, or revisions of it. This copy was illuminated by a professional Parisian illuminator who seems to have lived near the cathedral of Notre Dame, and who signed his name, 'Master Alexander', in another manuscript. By the 13th century this manuscript was in England, and in 1449 it was owned by the church of St. Michael's, Crooked Lane, London.
This prologue, in the form of a letter from St. Jerome to St. Ambrose, has an initial 'F' depicting Jerome writing the letter. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
