"Bible by French Miniaturist" refers to a genre of illuminated manuscripts produced in France during the medieval period, rather than a specific work. French miniaturists, skilled artists who specialized in the intricate and detailed decoration of manuscript pages, created some of the most beautiful and historically significant bibles of the Middle Ages. These bibles were often commissioned by wealthy patrons, including royalty, nobility, and high-ranking clergy, and were symbols of both piety and prestige.

Illuminated bibles from France are renowned for their artistic innovation and craftsmanship. They often feature a rich palette of colors, extensive use of gold leaf, and elaborate illustrations that include biblical scenes, decorative borders, and historiated initials (large decorated letters at the beginning of chapters or paragraphs that contain an identifiable scene or figure). The miniatures served not only as decoration but also as a means of conveying biblical stories and religious teachings to an audience that may have included non-readers.

The production of these bibles was a labor-intensive process that involved the collaboration of various artisans, including scribes, illuminators, binders, and sometimes even metalworkers who created ornate covers. The most famous centers of manuscript production in France were in Paris, Tours, and Bourges, with Paris becoming a particularly influential hub in the 13th and 14th centuries.

Notable examples of bibles illuminated by French miniaturists include the Saint Louis Bible (also known as the Morgan Crusader Bible or Maciejowski Bible), which was commissioned by King Louis IX of France in the mid-13th century, and the Bible moralisée, a genre of medieval bibles that contained moralized interpretations of biblical events.

The surviving illuminated bibles are now held in various collections around the world and are studied for their artistic merit, historical context, and insight into the religious and cultural life of medieval France. They are considered masterpieces of Gothic art and continue to be a subject of scholarly interest and public fascination.
