"Codex Vindobonensis 2554, with texts in French and dated to c 1220, is one of the two earliest surviving examples of a moralized Bible. It comprises an extensive cycle of illustrations of events, with corresponding exegetical illustrations, accompanied by texts that are little more than captions, containing a very free rendering of biblical texts, with heavy-handed morals and analogies....This is, in short, an extraordinarily interesting book, and thanks to Harvey Miller, and the Manuscripts in Miniature series in which it appears, it is in beautifully produced, accessible and affordable form, even if drastically reduced in size in relation to the original. Gerald Guest's commentary provides a firm basis for further investigation and study."
