The Middle Ages spanned the period between two watersheds in the
history of the biblical text: Jerome's Latin translation c.405 and
Gutenberg's first printed version in 1455. The Bible was arguably
the most influential book during this time, affecting spiritual and
intellectual life, popular devotion, theology, political
structures, art, and architecture. In an account that is sensitive
to the religiously diverse world of the Middle Ages, Frans van
Liere offers here an accessible introduction to the study of the
Bible in this period. Discussion of the material evidence - the
Bible as book - complements an in-depth examination of concepts
such as lay literacy and book culture. This introduction includes a
thorough treatment of the principles of medieval hermeneutics, and
a discussion of the formation of the Latin bible text and its
canon. It will be a useful starting point for all those engaged in
medieval and biblical studies.
