Description: 
French Bible Historial, vellum, illumination and miniatures throughout. Formerly bound in stamped leather (modern) with two clasps and a suggested fourteenth century date printed on the spine. The most recent binding has divided the bible historial into three volumes. A number of names appear in brown ink in the marginalia. Glossed and rubricated throughout, although glosses become much less frequent in the later half of the book. The miniatures are typically small rectangles illustrating events in the text, and tend to be painted on a backing of blue, burnished gold, or a combination of both. Ms 19 was a gift from James Sutherland, a merchant in Edinburgh, in 1680
