Entre Université et ordres mendiants : La production des bibles portatives latines au XIIIe siècle

Most 13th century Latin Bibles are portable Bibles produced in Paris and other towns hosting a medieval university. These manuscripts were intended for personal use and their dimensions also made them ideal preaching tools for the mendicant friars. This volume explores the production systems of these Bibles, their material and paratextual aspects, as well as their use, with a focus on the different technical solutions devised to miniaturise the Bible.

Les dimensions réduites de ces livres destinés à un usage personnel, ainsi que leur paratexte standardisé, en ont fait aussi des outils de prédication privilégiés par les frères mendiants. Cet ouvrage étudie leurs modalités de production et de diffusion, ainsi que leurs aspects matériels et paratextuels. Manuscripta Biblica is dedicated to scholarship on manuscripts of the Jewish and Christian Bible. The series is open to all fields and methods that address biblical manuscripts in a broad sense. This includes research on textual and paratextual aspects, the presentation, organization, physical composition, and artistic dimensions of the artifact as well as issues related to production, dissemination, forms of use, and reception
