Here are some pictures. Being around this kind of thing is a really profound and humbling experience- the time it has been through, the people who made it, the culture it came from, people who have preserved it- and by being in it's presence and honoring it, we also become part of its history.
I did not, until just now, see the no pictures icon. Like anyone is going to notice that. Even if I did see it, I still would have taken pictures.
Books, especially bibles and prayer books, used to be decorated beautifully. They were truly works of art.
ReplyDeleteOh thanks for posting this! I see a walkabout in my future. Can't miss this!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you grabbed the opportunity to see it - it is a lovely piece of work, I love illuminations in books.
