The Bible of San Paolo fuori le Mura (Rome, San Paolo Fuori le Mura, s.n.) is a 9th century illuminated Bible. It is the most sumptuous surviving Carolingian Bible. The manuscript was produced at Rheims under the patronage Charles the Bald and was given to the Pope John VIII at the coronation of Charles as emperor, during Christmas night 875. The manuscript was made between 870, the date of Charles's marriage to Richilde and 875, the date of his coronation. During the reign of Pope Gregory VII the Bible was given to the Benedictine abbey of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, where it has remained since.
The manuscript contains the entirety of the Vulgate Old and New Testaments. The 334 extant folios measure 448 by 345 mm. The text was written by a benedictine monk named Ingobert. There are 35 decorated incipit pages, four decorated canon tables. There are also 91 decorated initials throughout the book. There are 24 surviving full pages miniatures. These miniatures include a dedication portrait of Charles the Bald, a portrait of Jerome, 14 illustrations in the Old Testament, an image of Christ in Majesty, four evangelist portraits, a miniature in the Acts of the Apostles, a miniature for the Epistles of Paul, and a miniature for the Book of Revelation. One miniature, at the beginning of the Book of Job has been lost. This is the most extensive cycle of illustrations in any surviving Carolingian Bible.
