Biblia Sacra, quarta pars
A 1443 Latin manuscript Bible, the fourth part of the Vulgate, written by hand and decorated for church or religious readers, now held in a Swiss library. Its pictures are historiated and foliated initials, large letters in blue, pink and gold with green acanthus-like scrolls and small figures, beside columns of black gothic text; a designer might borrow the interlaced leaf framing and the layered colour pairings of blue, rose and gold.
