Bury Bible

The Bury Bible is a large illustrated bible written at Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, England between 1121 and 1148. The book was created by an artist known as Master Hugo and is the only surviving major work of his. Since 1575 it has been in the Parker Library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, with the shelf-mark Cambridge CCCC M 2.

It is an important example of Romanesque illumination from Norman England, and bears comparison with other large bibles produced in England in the 12th century such as the Dover Bible, Lambeth Bible, Rochester Bible, and the Winchester Bible.
