Lipnice Bible

The Lipnice Bible is a Latin biblical manuscript written in the first half of the 15th century in Bohemia.

The only figural illumination in the Lipnice Bible shows God as the Creator at the beginning of the book of Genesis.

The place of his origin could have been Roudnice nad Labem, a town owned by the Archbishops of Prague where an important Augustinian monastery was located.

[3] At the end of the book of Revelation, there is a unique colophon calling the Bible “the shield of faith, with which the sons of God fight, the eye of the righteous, a stumbling block to the unbelievers”.

It changed owners several times before entering the private Green Collection in 2011, from where it was given to the Museum of the Bible.
