The colour in those is amazing.
Do we know if those have been 'tweaked'. ?
(Not Ian Heath's lovely line drawings though.  ;))
Cheers - Phil.

Probably not for the full page Life of David, at least, as this is direct from the Morgan Library.
The rest of the Bible is held by Winchester Cathedral and the images are from indirect sources.
