{"product_id":"holkham-bible-9780712309905","title":"Holkham Bible","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis celebrated medieval picture-book tells the Biblical story  with the help of illustrations of everyday 14th-century England. It is only loosely based on the Bible and includes plenty of apocryphal episodes  for example Christ surfing on sunbeams as a child. The costumes  tools  weapons and buildings in the pictures give us a near documentary-style representation of many occupations in the age of Chaucer  such as dyer  smith  carpenter and midwife. This distinctive manuscript has now been carefully photographed and reproduced on special paper designed to replicate the look and feel of the original vellum. The facsimile includes Michelles Browns full transcript and translation of the text  and a commentary based on her unrivalled knowledge of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67931380252725,"sku":"ByrdShop_071230990X","price":491.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780712309905.jpg?v=1794212349","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/holkham-bible-9780712309905","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
