[BIBLIA ATLANTICA] - Due frammenti anticamente riutilizzati come legatura. central Italy: XI-XII secolo d. C.

Two important fragments from an Atlantic Bible. Among the largest manuscripts ever produced, the authorship of the format and of the cultural enterprise is to be attributed to Pope Gregory VII who promoted its production in Roman and Tuscan workshops.

Text: on the front epistle of Saint Paul to the Corinthians (11.5-11.33; 12.1-12.14) on the reverse epistle of Saint Paul on the Corinthians (12.14-12.21; 13.1-13) and to the Galatians (1.1-1.15).
