This bibliophile work of art, created in the 13th century and lavishly decorated with gold, reveals its creator, but not its patron, for whom no price must have been too high to appropriately decorate his picture cycle. The master William de Brailes was thus in the fortunate position of being able to decorate each individual miniature with a background of polished gold. Published in 980 numbered copies. Immaculately preserved.
