This is one of seven volumes representing a monumental project using ancient calligraphic techniques to create a complete contemporary Bible rendered into English from the New Revised Standard Version. Almost surely the greatest mss. since Gutenberg. Artists scribed with egg yoke, gold, silver & pigments. The calligraphy was done on vellum in a lively edged-pen hand faintly related to italic. This reduced facsimile, 9.75x15" is being prepared as the original parts are finished; two volumes are now available. Printed on paper that hints at vellum, the work is a fine example of bookmaking--a craft that is too rarely manifest today. Aside from its obvious interest for religious collections, the work will embellish any graphic arts collection. St. John's in Collegeville, Minnesota is a modern university, founded by Benedictine monks, and is the home also of the Hill Monastic Manuscript Library.
