St. John's Handwritten Bible Project Nearly Done 2 years, 9 months ago #610
|
 Almost a decade ago, the first word was written in The St. John's Bible, the first handwritten and illuminated Bible in 500 years commissioned by a Benedictine monastery... As the $5.5 million project passes the halfway point, with five of the seven planned volumes completed, 2,414 lines of text remain to be written. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2010. wcco.com/local/handwritten.bible.project.2.988141.html www.saintjohnsbible.org/ cnsblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/bible43.jpg I have had a great interest in illuminated manuscripts for some time now and have given a couple of slide show talks on them. This project I have watched closely, because of my interest in this first illuminated Bible in 500 years and also because I used to attend St John's in Collegeville, MN. Illuminated manuscripts in both the Jewish and Christian traditions are truly fascinating! The St. John's Bible is being created with medieval techniques, but it uses the NRSV translation with the Apocrypha. Modern imagery and technology are also incorporated in its production. What a beautiful piece of art and Scripture! |
