0:32Now PlayingThe Moutier-Grandval Bible, an illustrated ninth-century masterpiece considered one of the finest manuscripts in the world, is returning to Switzerland, where it miraculously survived the ages in impeccable condition.
The Bible was produced in Tours, France around 830-840 A.D., before making its way to Moutier-Grandval Abbey in northwestern Switzerland. Now in the care of the British Library, the 50-pound manuscript is being loaned for three months to the Jura Museum of Art and History in the Jura region of Switzerland.
