EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty and significance of the Great Bible of Clairvaux, an illuminated bible created in the 12th century at the Abbaye de Clairvaux under St Bernard. Now housed in the Mediatheque Jacques-Chirac in Troyes, France, this monumental work of art is a testament to the skill and dedication of its creators.
The Cistercian monochrome style is evident in the intricate geometric and vegetal motifs that adorn its pages. The absence of anthropomorphic or zoomorphic elements adds to its unique charm and spiritual aura. With five out of six original volumes still surviving, this bible stands as a symbol of religious heritage and faith.
As you gaze upon this image, you can almost feel the weight of history held within its leather cover. The hands delicately holding it speak to a reverence for knowledge and tradition that has been passed down through generations.
In a world where technology often dominates our lives, it is refreshing to see such a tangible piece of history preserved for future generations to appreciate. This print serves as a reminder of the enduring power of ancient texts and their ability to inspire awe and wonder in all who behold them.
