If you are asking for an example of a medieval book, the Bury Bible would be a good one.

It was produced by hand in two huge volumes at Bury St Edmunds in about 1130, taking two years to complete. Its pages are of vellum and are the largest size that can be made using that material when the pages are folded in two - about 35 by 23.5 cms or 15 by 9.25 inches. The text would have been entirely written by a single monk, while a team of illuminators worked on the decoration.

It is now kept at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, with the shelf number CCCC Ms 2.
