The Morgan Crusader Bible is probably the most extraordinary work from the book collection of King Louis IX. It is a pure picture book illustrating the events of the Old Testament in 283 high-quality #miniatures. This #codex is famous the world over and has had several important owners who had explanatory commentaries append the pictures in Latin, Persian, Arabic, Judeo-Persian, and Hebrew. Its miniatures resemble the stained glass and mural paintings of the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris, which was also commissioned by Louis IX, and dress the events in the clothing, armor, and weapons of the 13th century, making it a valuable source about contemporary life and warfare. The artfulness and masterful execution of the miniatures often contrasts with the brutal, gruesomely detailed scenes of medieval combat that they depict.
