The illuminated St. John's Bible is an amazing project - 12 years of hand-work by experts


#art #bible #scripture
It took 12 years of delicate craftsmanship to make The Saint John’s Bible — the first hand-written Bible in over 500 years.
The project was spearheaded by Donald Jackson, former Senior Scribe and Illuminator at the Crown Office in the House of Lords. As the scribe to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Jackson was responsible for the creation of official state documents and was later named Master of the 600-year-old Guild of Scriveners of the city of London.
Such profound expertise and dedication can be seen in the calligraphy and illuminations gracing the pages of The Saint John’s Bible.

I have seen it in person... and it is available in reproduction volumes. Learn more here: https://saintjohnsbible.org/Home/Index or visit the Library of Congress online exhibit at https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/stjohnsbible/stjohns-exhibit.html
