In the Beginning Bibles Before the Year 1000

"[An] extraordinary catalogue....IN THE BEGINNING tells two complex stories, and does so with a wonderful clarity, detail, and lack of condescension. The shorter one is that of the modern scholars and collectors who first assembled these materials and then worked out what they are and what they tells us about the Bible....The second--and central--story is that of the Bible itself....IN THE BEGINNING brings us, in other words, back to the Creation--not of the world, but of the Christian and Jewish book."Brown, Michelle P. is the author of 'In the Beginning Bibles Before the Year 1000', published 2006 under ISBN 9781588342409 and ISBN 1588342409.
