Rare Medieval Bible Returned to Canterbury

Cathedral A pocket-size, 13th-century Bible was just returned to the library of England’s Canterbury Cathedral, after being “lost” for 500 years.

The medieval Bible was lost during the 16th century, when Henry VIII ruled England and led the English Reformation that divided the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church.

At that time, hundreds of monasteries were disbanded, including that of the Canterbury Cathedral.
