**About: **
The Crusader Bible, also known as the Morgan Picture Bible, the Maciejowski Bible or the Shah ‘Abbas Bible, contains an impressive count of 86 full-page sized illuminations depicting everyday life, love, envy, hate, rape and murder. Created somewhere between 1244 – 1254 in Paris (France), its rich illuminations are in a typical Gothic style.
Though originally created without text, later owners added inscriptions to the scenes in Latin, Persian and Judeo-Persian. It cJ.P. Morgan purchased the manuscript in 1916 and it now resides in the Morgan Library Museum. Its digitized version is available here.
