The Book of Books: Biblical Canon, Dissemination and Its People presents a richly illustrated scholarly volume that chronicles the historical transmission, interpretation, and cultural impact of the Bible from the Second Temple period to modern times. Through seventeen essays and rare manuscript reproductions, the editors detail the evolution of biblical texts, the development of Jewish and Christian canons, and the role of translation, printing, and illumination in shaping religious identity. The work argues for the Bible’s centrality in the formation of monotheistic traditions and illustrates how its dissemination reflects broader shifts in theology, politics, and art. It constructs a compelling narrative that links archaeological finds, medieval craftsmanship, and theological discourse across centuries. As both exhibition catalogue and academic study, this volume stands as a definitive resource on the enduring legacy of sacred scripture.
