Winchester Bible

The Winchester Cathedral in England has posted a description of the Winchester Bible on its website. If you click on “View picture gallery” and then click on the heading “The Winchester Bible” you can see selected images. I found it difficult to view the enlarged individual pictures, however.
 
In 2014 the Winchester Bible was loaned to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for a three-month exhibition. The Met’s website contains an exhibit overview, a 90-minute lecture about the Bible, and a series of articles (click on Winchester Bible Exhibition Blog at left). One blog shows the first page of Genesis, which begins, “In principio creavit Deus caelum et terram” (“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth”). The capital letter “I” contains seven pictures: the creation of Eve out of the side of Adam, a dove returning to Noah who is waiting in the ark, Abraham getting ready to sacrifice Isaac, God giving the Ten Commandments to Moses, Samuel anointing David as king, the Nativity, and the Last Judgment.
