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.
