St. John's Bible Planner: With its completion in 2011, The Saint John's Bible became the first completely handwritten and illuminated Bible commissioned by a Benedictine abbey since the advent of the printing press more than 500 years ago. Included within its covers of quarter-sawn Welsh oak are exquisite illustrations hand-created by master illuminators and calligraphers using ancient methods, materials and tools. Fifty-three of these awe-inspiring illustrations are included in the hardcover The Saint John's Bible 2013 Weekly Planner Calendar that will appeal to the faithful as well as anyone who appreciates artistic beauty. "This is a work of art, a great work of art...a work for eternity." --Pope Benedict XVI EAN: 050837294127 UPC: 9781449417321
