Description
This
famous
paraphrase
of the
Bible
in
Latin
verse
was
one
of the
most
popular
Latin
books
of
poetry
of the
late
12th
and
13th
century
.
Petrus
de
Riga
,
who
died
in
1209
,
began
it
.
Aegidius
of
Paris
finished
it
. This
version
did
not
appear
in
printed
form
until
a
very
late
date
,
despite
its
popularity
. The
format
of this
page
,
twice
as
long
as
it
is
wide
,
demonstrates
the
English
custom
of
folding
the
skins
lengthwise
. The
practice
of
setting
off
by a
space
the
initial
letter
of
each
line
also
helps
to
give
the
page
an
unusual
appearance
.
It
is
written
in a
very
small
script
,
six
lines
to an
inch
, in a
hand
characteristic
of
Northern
France
and
England
at this
period
.
England
:
Aurora
.
