  • Bible of Borso d’Este - World Digital Library
    The magnificent Bible of Borso d’Este represents the zenith of Ferrarese miniature painting and one of the highpoints of Italian Renaissance manuscript illumination. It was commissioned by Borso d’Este (1413–71), the first duke of Ferrara, who intended it as a demonstration of the splendor of the House of Este, which at the time was competing with Florence and the court of the Medici for international status. The manuscript was completed between 1455 and 1461, the same time that Johann Gutenberg was producing the first printed Bible from moveable type. The Bible consists of two folio volumes of more than 1,000 individual illuminations.

  • Codex Gigas (Devil's Bible)
    The Codex Gigas (or Devil´s Bible) is a large 13th-century manuscript from Bohemia. Renowned for its size and its striking full-page rendition of the devil. Of special interest are the sections that testify to the Bohemian origin of the manuscript and its eventful history. At the end of the 16th century, the Codex was incorporated into the collections of Habsburg ruler Rudolph II. During the Swedish siege of Prague at the end of the Thirty Years’ War (1648), the manuscript was taken as war booty and transferred to Stockholm.

  • Coverdale Bible 1535
    At last the first Bible in English is accessible. This is evidently an electronic copy of the 1972 Dawson Press facsimile copy. As this is very hard to get by, we can hope that Greatsite (behind this online copy) is in the process of making a paper copy.
