    "description": "The Velislav Bible, one of the most beautiful medieval Bohemian manuscripts, is a bible image\u00e9 in which pictorial narrative dominates the written word, blending, at the same time, common biblical texts with a local legend about the patron of medieval Bohemia, St. Wenceslas. Deliberating about the role of this Bible, the essays collected in this monograph approach its manuscript in an interdisciplinary manner. By combining historical and textual analyses with the surveys of the Bible\u2019s art and iconography, this first modern edition of the Velislav Bible and its tituli shows that it was used as a didactic tool in clerics\u2019 education.\n",
