Clement Bible

The bible was probably commissioned by Raymond de Gramat, bishop of Monte Cassino.

[3] In the inventory of Gramat's library, it is referred to as a biblia pulcra (beautiful bible).

[6] Every folio contains "decorations in the finest style, distinguished for their delicate execution and brilliant colouring".

[5] Each book of the bible begins with a historiated initial and framed miniatures at the bottom of the page.

There are longer series of miniatures in the books of Daniel, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts and Revelation.
