THE BURY BIBLE is one of the most famous and splendid English Bibles of the twelfth century, and a chef d'oeuvre of European romanesque art. Made at Bury St Edmunds abbey in the 1130s by an outstanding artist named Master Hugh, its surviving Old Testament volume is now owned by Corpus Christi College Cambridge. This book, which is close to the size of the original, presents the Bible's six miniatures and 42 initials in colours and gold, together with samples of its monumental display script, and black and white plates of comparative material. The text sets the Bible's manufacture in the context of book-making at Bury abbey, and the developing cult of its patron saint Edmund. Other works attributed to Master Hugh are studied, leading to the conclusion that he was a professional artist of cosmopolitan experience. The Bible's miniatures reflect a wide range of stylistic and iconographical influences. In particular, it is suggested that Hugh must have come into direct contact with contemporary Byzantine painting and mosaic. Finally, there is a review of his profound influence on English and continental illumination after his time.publiarq.com
