The Anjou Bible,^[1] or Bible Angevine, is an illustrated manuscript created c. 1340 in the court of King Robert I of Naples and Sicily (also known as Robert I of Anjou or Robert the Wise). The Bible consists of 344 folios with two full-page illustrations and over 80 small miniatures, dated initials, and marginal miniatures. The work is considered a masterpiece of 14th-century Italian literature.^{[citation needed]}

The manuscript is held by the Catholic University of Leuven's Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies (Maurits Sabbe Library, Hs 1). On March 10, 2008, it was included in the List of Movable Cultural Heritage of the Flemish Community.^[2]

In older literature, the Anjou Bible is also referred to as the Malines Bible, indicating its former location at the Grand Seminary in Mechelen.
