Medieval Manuscripts: An Exploration of Bristol Library’s ‘Paris Bible’

Before the invention of the printing press, every book was a work of incredible craftsmanship, and none more so than the ‘pocket Bibles’ that appeared out of the Paris workshops from the 13th century. Join us for this lunchtime talk with Ben Cattle, MA student in Medieval Studies at Bristol University, and explore the context, peculiarities, and delightful artwork of Bristol Central Library’s own Parisian Bible.
