| Summary: | The 13th century saw the development of the production of Latin Bibles, mostly from Paris and other medieval university towns. Considering the large number of surviving manuscripts (about 2000), we have to ask how this production - at least 20000 copies – could have been achieved in a few decades without using the “pecia system”, which developed at the same time to increase the dissemination of academic texts. This manufacturing technique allowed the multiplication of copies from a single manuscript divided into sections that were rented, section by section, to different scribes working simultaneously. This paper aims to highlight the impact of this system on the production and dissemination of Bibles during the 13th century, both by studying the few documents available on this subject and by analysing the six surviving Bibles with pecia marks or used as exemplaria. |
