Access to the bible was restricted in the Middle Ages.
Quote:The Synod of Toulouse in 1229 forbade the laity to have in their possession any copy of the books of the Old and the New Testament except the Psalter and 86 such other portions as are contained in the Breviary or the Hours of the Blessed Mary.
