		iterateoften 10 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Illuminated Gospel of St John I thought this was the St John’s Illuminated Bible a much more comprehensive and awe inspiring work out of the St John’s abbey in Minnesota. https://saintjohnsbible.org/ Its a beautiful and modern interpretation of how an illuminated work would be done today. Even has Jesus wearing jeans. Each bible is commissioned and done by hand, so a bit more than a $35 book the link is referring to.

They also sell a 7 volume version of the St. John's Bible—even at 2/3 scale, the books are around 15"x10". It's beautiful, and I'm glad to own the entire set. (I'm not a Christian, I just love illuminated manuscripts).
