Made in Winchester during the last quarter of the twelfth century, it contains vivid scenes from the lives of Samuel and David and was the last leaf acquired by Pierpont Morgan before his death in 1913. The centerpiece of the exhibition is the finest leaf from the celebrated Winchester Bible, arguably the most lavish English Bible of its time. ![]() A dozen of these leaves are on view for the first time. Leaves acquired over the last hundred years, including those of Italian, English, French, Flemish, German, Hungarian, and Spanish origin, are shown. Pierpont Morgan, a preeminent collector of complete medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, also acquired single pages, as did many collectors who developed an appreciation for these orphaned leaves during the nineteenth century. This exhibition comprises nearly sixty lavish single leaves dating from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries. ![]()
