Marquette Bible, vol. 3
A thirteenth-century illuminated Bible volume, possibly from Paris, made by unknown scribes and painters for a religious readership, held by the J. Paul Getty Museum. The page shows dense Latin text in two columns beside a large historiated initial containing a small painted scene of two robed figures, with gold leaf, red and blue rubrics, and decorative blue and pink border foliage that a designer might borrow for ornamental initials, manuscript-style borders, and gilded medieval page layouts.
