One of the greatest art treasures of the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York is an illuminated manuscript which retells the story of the Old Testament in 283 monumental illustrations, from the Creation of the world to King David.
The Crusader's Bible fascinates through its rich and refined gold embellishment which comes to enhance the luminosity of the colours. This manuscript served the French king Louis IX, the Saint, as a historiated Bible, a large format chronicle of biblical events.
The story is depicted in great detail and without any text, recalls the Creation of the world, the Righteous Wars and the deeds of the most important characters of the Old Testament.
A crusader from heart and bone, Louis attributed great importance to the war scenes, in order to emphasise his crusading ideal and to provide not only additional incentives but also guidelines with which to conquer the Holy Land.
