I posted recently about the St. John's Bible, a manuscript currently on view at The Walters Art Museum in Baltimore. It's in the process of being completed by a group of modern-day monks using medieval calligraphy methods, but with modern touches, like that it's completely in English instead of Latin. I sort of had no idea what to expect from it, image-wise, so I'd like to share a few pictures of it. It's a rather brilliant synthesis of medieval illumination traditions and modern aesthetics.
