From: Nancy Leavitt

From September 7 through November 26, 2006 during the GBW celebration in
New York, The Museum of Biblical Art is displaying twelve vellum leaves
of the Books of the Prophets from the Saint John?s Bible alongside 50
rare Christian and Jewish Bibles and leaves, allowing visitors to view
the Saint John?s illuminations in the context of a thousand years of
sacred script production.  The St. John?s Bible, commissioned by St.
John?s University and Abbey in Collegeville, Minnesota is being written
and illuminated entirely by hand under the direction of Donald Jackson,
calligrapher and scribe to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth?s Crown Office. 
Suzanne Moore, a current member of GBW is one of only two Americans
chosen to help illuminate the bible.  One of her illustrations is
featured in the Books of Prophets at the museum (and pictured on the
brochure).
