This digital edition contains 752 high-resolution pages reproduced as digital images and assembled into a single PDF for convenient viewing, historical research, and personal study.

Historical Background

The manuscript forms the first volume of a Latin Bible and contains several books of the Old Testament, together with interpretations of biblical terms.

The manuscript is particularly notable for its unusual illuminated miniatures associated with the celebrated German Renaissance painter Berthold Furtmeyr (active c. 1460–1501).

Furtmeyr and his followers played an important role in the Ratisbon School of Illumination. His work is recognized for the sophisticated combination of imagery, ornament, and text, as well as his distinctive use of vivid colors and highly detailed illumination.

His artistic style reflects a fascinating transition between the medieval tradition and the emerging Renaissance, including richly colored scenes, nighttime imagery, and other distinctive visual elements.
