Blanche of Castile, Louis IX, a monk, and a lay scribe, dedication page (folio 8 recto) of a moralized Bible,
from Paris, France, 1226–1234. Ink, tempera, and gold leaf on vellum, 1′ 3″ × 10 12 ″. Pierpont Morgan
Library, New York.
The Florentine poet Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) referred to Paris in his Divine Comedy (ca. 1310–1320) as
the city famed for the art of illumination. During the 13th century, book production shifted from monasteries to
urban workshops of professional artists—and Paris boasted the most and best. These new for-profit secular
businesses sold their products to the royal family, scholars, and prosperous merchants. The Parisian shops
were the forerunners of modern publishing houses.
Not surprisingly, some of the finest extant Gothic books belonged to the French monarchy. One of the
many books the royal family commissioned is a moralized Bible now in the Pierpont Morgan Library. Moralized
Bibles are heavily illustrated, each page pairing paintings of Old and New Testament episodes with explana-
tions of their moral significance. Louis’s mother, Blanche of Castile, ordered the Morgan Bible during her
regency (1226–1234) for her teenage son. The dedication page has a costly gold background and depicts
Blanche and Louis enthroned beneath triple-lobed arches and miniature cityscapes. With vivid gestures,
Blanche instructs the young Louis, underscoring her superior position. Below Blanche and Louis are a monk
and a professional lay scribe. The older clergyman instructs the scribe, who already has divided his page into
two columns of four roundels each, a format often used for the paired illustrations of moralized Bibles.
The identity of the painter of this royal moralized Bible is unknown, but that is the norm in the history
of Western art before the Renaissance of the 14th century, when the modern notion of individual artistic genius
took root. Art through the Ages surveys the art of all periods from prehistory to the present, and worldwide,
and examines how artworks of all kinds have always reflected the historical contexts in which they were
created.

Fred S. Kleiner
Fred S. Kleiner (Ph.D., Columbia University) has been the author or coauthor of Gardner’s Art through the
Ages beginning with the 10th edition in 1995. He has also published more than a hundred books, articles,
and reviews on Greek and Roman art and architecture, including A History of Roman Art, also published by
Cengage Learning. Both Art through the Ages and the book on Roman art have been awarded Texty prizes as the
outstanding college textbook of the year in the humanities and social sciences, in 2001 and 2007, respectively. Pro-
fessor Kleiner has taught the art history survey course since 1975, first at the University of Virginia and, since 1978,
at Boston University, where he is currently professor of the history of art and architecture and classical archaeology
and has served as department chair for five terms, most recently from 2005 to 2014. From 1985 to 1998, he was
editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Archaeology.
Long acclaimed for his inspiring lectures and devotion to students, Professor Kleiner won Boston University’s
Metcalf Award for Excellence in Teaching as well as the College Prize for Undergraduate Advising in the Humanities
in 2002, and he is a two-time winner of the Distinguished Teaching Prize in the College of Arts & Sciences Honors
Program. In 2007, he was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, and, in 2009, in recognition of
lifetime achievement in publication and teaching, a Fellow of the Text and Academic Authors Association.
Also by Fred Kleiner: A History of Roman Art, Second Edition (Cengage Learning 2018; ISBN
9781337279505), winner of the 2007 Texty Prize for a new college textbook in the humanities and social sciences.
In this authoritative and lavishly illustrated volume, Professor Kleiner traces the development of Roman art and
architecture from Romulus’s foundation of Rome in the eighth century bce to the death of Constantine in the fourth
century ce, with special chapters devoted to Pompeii and Herculaneum, Ostia, funerary and provincial art and
architecture, and the earliest Christian art, with an introductory chapter on the art and architecture of the Etruscans
and of the Greeks of South Italy and Sicily.

Elle fut reine, elle eut des palais merveilleux, et la joie des fêtes,
et la gloire d’être la plus illustre avec l’orgueil d’être la plus belle.
Mais ce qui la ravissait surtout, ce n’étaient pas les louanges des
chambellans et des ambassadeurs, ce n’était pas de marcher sur
des tapis de soie et d’or, de porter des robes fleuries de toutes les
roses et constellées de tous les diamants, non, c’était l’amour
toujours vivant, toujours grandissant, qui brûlait pour le roi, dans son
cœur, qui brûlait, dans le cœur du roi, pour elle. Ils éprouvaient l’un
pour l’autre une tendresse non pareille. Dans tout le vaste monde, ils
ne voyaient qu’eux seuls. Les affaires de l’État étaient le moindre de
leurs soucis ; qu’on leur permît de s’adorer en paix, ils n’avaient pas
d’autre désir ; et, sous leur règne, on ne fit point la guerre, tant ils
s’occupaient à faire l’amour. Au milieu d’une telle joie, Martine
songeait-elle au céleste messager qui avait pris sa place, par charité
pure ? Rarement. Son bonheur ne lui laissait pas le temps de ce
chagrin. Que si, — parfois, — un remords lui venait de n’avoir pas
accompli sa promesse, elle s’en délivrait en se disant que Martine,
dans la chaumière, n’était peut-être pas aussi malade qu’il
paraissait, et que l’ange avait dû guérir. D’ailleurs, elle ne s’inquiétait
guère de ce passé si obscur, si lointain, et elle ne pouvait pas avoir
de tristesse puisqu’elle s’endormait tous les soirs, la tête sur l’épaule
de son royal époux. Mais il advint une chose terrible : le roi disparut
un jour, pour ne plus reparaître, et personne ne put savoir ce qu’il
était devenu.

La voix reprit :
— Je suis votre ange gardien, et tout est bien puisque vous voilà.
Hâtez-vous de vous coucher sous cette pierre, et j’emporterai votre
âme au paradis, afin de l’y épouser.
— Hélas ! mon bon ange, combien vous avez dû souffrir, par ma
faute, en mourant, et combien vous avez dû vous ennuyer, seul si
longtemps, dans cette tombe !
— Bon ! dit-il, je m’étais bien douté que vous ne reviendriez pas
de sitôt, et j’avais pris mes précautions en conséquence. Une vaine
forme abusa vos parents, sous le drap, sur l’oreiller ; je vous ai suivie
à travers les branches ; et, pendant le temps où j’aurais dû dormir à
votre place dans la fosse, sous les hautes herbes fleuries…
— Oh ! pendant ce temps, en quel lieu étiez-vous, mon ange ?
— J’étais dans notre royal palais, ma reine, où vous m’aimiez
presque autant que vous m’aimerez tout à l’heure au Paradis !
LA DERNIÈRE FÉE
— C’est une belle promesse que vous me faites là, dit la jeune
fille étonnée.
— Je la tiendrai, je vous assure.
— Mais que me demanderez-vous en échange d’un tel service ?
— Oh ! presque rien ! dit la fée ; vous me laisserez me blottir, —
je me ferai plus petite encore que je ne suis, pour ne pas vous
gêner, — dans l’une des fossettes que le sourire met aux coins de
votre bouche.
— Comme il vous plaira ! c’est marché conclu. »
La jeune fille avait à peine achevé qu’Oriane, pas plus grosse
qu’une perle presque invisible, était déjà nichée dans le joli nid rose.
Ah ! comme elle s’y trouvait bien ! Comme elle y serait bien,
toujours ! Maintenant, elle ne regrettait plus que les hommes eussent
saccagé la forêt de Brocéliande, et tout de suite, — car elle était trop
contente pour négliger de tenir sa parole, — elle fit venir du pays
lointain le jeune homme plus beau que le jour. Il parut dans la
chambre, couronné de boucles d’or, et s’agenouilla devant sa bien-
aimée, ayant dans le cœur d’infinis trésors de tendresse. Mais, à ce
moment, survint un fort laid personnage, vieillissant, l’œil chassieux,
la lèvre fanée ; il portait, dans un coffret ouvert, tout un million de
pierreries. La jeune fille courut à lui, l’embrassa, et le baisa sur la
bouche d’un si passionné baiser que la pauvre petite Oriane mourut
étouffée dans la fossette du sourire.
