About This Item

Fascsimile volume in full leather decoratively and elaborately stamped in blind with a five-paneled spine. Commentary bound in quarter dark red leather over beige cloth with gilt-lettered front board and spine. The text of the commentary is in French and German. . Two volumes, folio. . The illustrations are framed within medallions and, as is typical of such works, illuminated with gold leaf and various colors. Minor shelfwear, else fine. In a near fine cream-colored marbled slipcase with gilt-lettered brown paper label. The Bible Moralisée is the name given to several important medieval picture Bibles, heavily illustrated and designed for the personal use of the French royal family, especially monarchs. These books were similar in the choice and order of Biblical texts selected, though they differ in the allegorical and moral deductions drawn from their passages. While they do not contain the full text of the Bible, each page pairs Old and New Testament content with illustrations that explain their moral significance. Codex 2554, of which this is a copy, is the most familiar of the Bibles and was written in the thirteenth century (1220-1230 a.d.); its frontispiece is also one of the most well known of the Middle Ages. The original codex arrived at the Imperial Library in Vienna in 1783.

Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, women's studies, education, history of science and fine printing and artists' books. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietor: Carol Sandberg
