Synopsis

The Morgan Bible was designed to bring to life a number of selected Old Testament stories, through making them as appealing and entertaining as possible by placing biblical heroes in contemporary settings.
The beautifully illustrated Book of Kings also offers the reader a unique insight into politics, religion, and culture of 13th century France. Eight essays by noted international medieval scholars of history and art, bring the court and crusades of King Louis IX (later Saint Louis) to life. Moreover, they demonstrate the relevance of Old Testament stories and imagery both in the 13th century France and in 17th century Iran, when the Picture Bible belonged to the great Safavid ruler Shah Abbas.
