The Biblia Pauperum, neither a bible nor a book for the poor as its title suggests, is a medieval picture book that pairs Old and New Testament scenes as a way of showing that events in the past were divinely intended to foreshadow the future. It endures as a stunning example of the blockbook, printed in its entirety--text and pictures--from woodblock. The exquisite facsimile edition reproduced here with commentary will help the modern reader to recapture the fifteenth-century reader's experience in using the blockbook.
