Presented by the Fine Arts Department of Loyola University Maryland, students enjoyed a lecture at Loyola-Notre Dame Library by Saint John’s Bible artist, Suzanne Moore. \u00a0Moore talked about the paintstaking twelve-year creation process of the Saint John’s Bible; the first illuminated, handwritten Bible commissioned by a Benedictine Monastery in 500 years. \u00a0The artists focused on interpreting thirteen illuminations and special treatments that she created for the bible. \u00a0 Following the lecture, students were able to view the limited edition, Heritage Edition of the Saint John’s Bible which is part of the Libary’s Special Collection. The bible was made possible by the generosity of the Family of Nicholas B. Mangione and the late Julie Kline Rybczynski.
