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 sumptuous Bible made for Louis IX of France, who was canonized, has been known for centuries as "Biblia rica" (”rich Bible”) for its luxurious decoration. It was transferred to Toledo during the lifetime of the King (1226–1270) where for unknown reasons eight folios were taken out in the 16th century and rebound separately in leather. They have been in the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York City since 1906. The faithful facsimile reproduction of these eight folios serves not only to conserve and protect a unique original, but also provides scholars and bibliophile amateurs access to this volume, especially those who are unable to see it in person in NYC.

This Bible ranks among the most significant English manuscripts of the 13th century. Simply on the basis of the number of its miniatures, 97 in total, it achieves a high position among all other illuminated works of this period. The fine decoration and composition of the manuscript bespeak the strong personality and individuality of the artist, and the use of landscape as a new element of miniature design lends the illustrations a fascinating and strange liveliness. The 97 miniatures accompany the Latin text of the Revelation of Saint John, the mysterious last book of the New Testament. The glorious framed miniatures are more than just mere additions to the text, indeed they are of central importance. A turbulent history: The English king Edward I and his s

The manuscript is named by modern scholars after its original patron. The largest picture in the manuscript depicts a knight on horseback attended by two women, immediately below the words ‘Lord Geoffrey Luttrell had me made’ in Latin (‘Dominus Galfridus Louterell me fieri fecit’). The two women in the picture can be identified by their coats of arms as Geoffrey Luttrell’s wife, Agnes de Sutton, who hands him his helm and lance, and his daughter-in-law, Beatrice le Scrope, who carries his shield. Geoffrey Luttrell was lord of the manor at Irnham, between Grantham and Spalding in Lincolnshire, but he owned estates across England, thanks to his great-great-grandfather, also called Geoffrey. His ancestor’s loyal support and service to King John ha
Commissioned by a wealthy landowner in the first half of the 14th century, the Luttrell Psalter is one of England's most famous psalters. The vitality of its decoration is unsurpassed by other manuscripts of its day.
