The plentiful genre of medieval <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vulgate\" target=\"&quot;\" rel=\"noopener\">Latin Vulgate Bibles<\/a> is a rich field in Manuscript Studies. Work on cases of deliberately disbursed manuscripts has yielded in the last two decades a selection of stand-out works.
