One of the greatest pre–13th century biblical image cycles originated in the Spanish province of Navarra ca. 1200 with the Pamplona Bible. An unbelievable 976 predominantly half-page #miniatures and some full-page miniatures portray the texts of the Old and New Testaments as well as the Apocrypha and saints’ legends on 542 pages. King Sancho VII of Navarra (1154–1234) commissioned the parchment #manuscript, which he probably used himself as a moralistic handbook, under the direction of the cleric Petrus Ferrandus in the royal chancellery in Pamplona. Aside from the exceptional wealth of imagery, the Bible distinguished itself through its unusual format. There are only two other Bibles worldwide that are known to require clarifications of no more than two or three lines.
