Whether executed in one of the great Benedictine abbeys on this side the Channel, or in Normandy, it is impossible to say, the style of each country at this time being identical. The large miniature pictures contained in the elaborate initials at the beginning of each book are of exquisite workmanship, and, as is usual in thirteenth century Bibles, the blue and gold are specially beautiful. They average about three inches square, and are of very great interest and value for their costumes and the domestic and other details of the life of the century, each scene being faithfully rendered, not according to Hebrew antiquities, but just as the artist saw it in the occurrences of his own every-day life.—Catalogue.
