Abstract
The order of the biblical books, the choice of prologues, the system of chapter divisions, the absence of capitula lists, and the inclusion of the Interpretation of Hebrew names, all show it to be an example of the Paris Bible. This chapter examines the thirteenth-century Bible, the Paris Bible. Then, it investigates the implications of the arrival of such a volume for the older Bibles in the collection of Durham Cathedral priory. It also considers the general points concerning the use of Bibles in a late medieval Benedictine context that are raised by the material as a whole. The chapter summarizes one of the key distinctions between Paris Bibles and their predecessors. Keywords:Benedictine Cathedral Priory; Durham Cathedral Library (DCL); Paris Bible
