The Book of Bibles, published by Taschen editions, offers an immersion into fifty of the most remarkable medieval biblical manuscripts preserved to this day. Created in collaboration with the Austrian National Library, the work highlights pieces of great historical and artistic richness. Each manuscript showcases illumination, calligraphy, and layout work revealing the importance given to the sacred text over the centuries.
A journey through the Middle Ages
The book spans the entire Middle Ages and shows how the biblical text evolved according to political, cultural, and spiritual contexts. Stylistic variations, iconographic choices, and technical innovations reflect the transformations of a long and complex era. Through these manuscripts, the reader discovers the diversity of European scriptural traditions.
A richly illustrated edition
Thanks to high-quality reproductions, this volume offers privileged access to rarely seen works. The details of the illuminations, the fineness of the gilding, and the precision of the initials appear clearly, allowing appreciation of the artistic dimension as well as the religious significance of these manuscripts. A carefully crafted edition, intended for lovers of history, sacred art, and written heritage.

Here, we don’t judge.
No matter where you come from, what you believe in, or what you’re looking for: you belong here. You can be a beginner, curious, a casual practitioner, or a daily witch. What matters is sincere intention.
We believe in all forms of magic.
High magic and its rigorous rituals deserve as much respect as spells passed down in the countryside. We read grimoires, respect rites, listen to old stories. Everything practiced with faith deserves serious and curious attention.
We welcome all traditions.
We don’t put one path above another. We talk hoodoo, kabbalah, Christian prayers, elemental magic, folk rituals, Celtic symbols. What matters is respect. Not the label.
We work cleanly.
Each package is carefully prepared by us, here in France. Before shipping, it is purified so it arrives at your home cleansed and positively charged. We strive to use recyclable packaging and reduce our impact as much as possible.
We stay available.
Customer service is us. Not an AI, not a robot, not a call center. If you have a question, a doubt, a problem, you reach us—the same people who select the products, write the descriptions, and prepare the packages.
We stay human-sized.
We are a small passionate team with big ambitions, hands in the herbs, books, and boxes. And we want to keep it that way.
