This work, the proceedings of a symposium held at Hampton Court, Herefordshire in May 1995, investigates the topic of the written transmission of the Biblical text from the earliest times to the 15th century. Arranged chronologically, the book explores the textual and physical innovations of manuscript Bibles and their relationship to the communities which produced them. In particular, the authors apply codicological principles to the historical understanding and development of the scriptures.
