Saint John's Bible
07/20/2010
For more than a decade now, Saint John's Abbey and University (Collegeville, Minn.) have been working on what they describe as "the first handwritten, illuminated Bible commissioned by a Benedictine Abbey in over 500 years" (in other words, since Gutenberg). The "Saint John's Bible" has turned out to be quite an undertaking, and for those who have an interest in communication and religious history, publishing, typography, art, etc., it is a noteworthy project indeed. Today I learned that the Saint John's Bible touring exhibition will be at the Benedict Inn Retreat and Conference Center in Beech Grove (southeastern side of Indianapolis) during much of August. The exhibition will be complemented by various lectures and workshops. Details are included in the links below.

I won’t be doing a lot with the website this summer, but I’ve at least posted textbook information for those of you who like to get a head start on things. Please note that some of the links won’t be activated until the beginning of the semester.
