Description
In the beginning was the word, and the Middle Ages was the zenith of the Bible. This work presents the Bible as it was visualized in both theological and historical contexts. Sacred manuscripts are also examined from an art historical point of view.
First Sentence
The biblical texts of early Christianity were written, in Greek, on papyrus - in a manner distinctive of Bible production: the papyrus (almost) never assumes the form of a scroll, but is laid out as a codex, corresponding to the modern book.
