Abstract

In the Episcopal Archive and Library of Vic, there is a precious Bible, in four volumes, dating from 1268. It was written in the style of the great Bibles of Paris, in Catalan Gothic minuscule, and produced specifically for study purposes, as evidenced by its large margins. The text of the Vulgate of this Bible has been eruditely glossed with different biblical readings (Hebrew Bible, Septuagint, Josephus, veteres versiones, Jerome, Glossa Ordinaria, etc.), making the manuscript an extremely important testimony where biblical textual criticism in Catalonia is concerned. The aim of this paper is to offer a critical analysis of the biblical glosses contained in the Bible of Vic. Its philological and theological value may help us to situate this Latin Bible in the historical, cultural and theological context of the Barcelona Disputation (1263).
