The Lipnice Bible is written on parchment and contains 431 folios. The codex is not a mere Bible but contains a number of added texts. The decoration of the manuscript was carried out in three different phases, as the codex was forced to change its location. Thus it is a precious witness to a restless period of the Hussite wars. The only figural illumination of the Lipnice bible shows God as the Creator at the beginning of the book of Genesis.
