About the book >.>.> One of the primary intentions of the early medieval artists was by their illustrations of ill and New Testament subjects to teach the simple and illiterate about God. The primary purpose of this book is the same to teach children about the Christian lain. The sixty subjects have been chosen not just to illustrate a series of stories her to prevent the unfolding of a great plan. And how fascinating these manuscript pictures! They present a new world almost unknown the magnificent tragic or de denigns of the great twelfth-century Bibles and even less familiar the under drawings of the Anglo-Saxons sometimes naive sometimes baroque but with unipar spiritual and psychological sensibility.
