Saint John's Bible



I first read about this project about 10 years ago and was blown away: A new, hand-written Bible, fully illuminated. The work is simply striking. Check it out:

I've been to the Catholic College (uh, St. Johns) where they put this all together. I have seen original manuscripts and it is pretty amazing.
