"The Italian Giant Bibles," in The Practice of the Bible in the Middle Ages, ed. Susan Boynton and Diane Reilly, Columbia University Press, 2011 more

An introduction to the Italian Giant Bibles (Bibbie atlantiche, Bibles atlantiques, Riesenbibeln), their historiography, scripts, illustrations, and current ideas about where they were made and by whom. This chapter differs from most other recent works on the Italian Giant Bibles in that it calls into question the widespread hypothesis that much of the group came from one or a few Roman scriptoria associated with the papacy.
