Extra Illustration

The early reader of this early German book of sermons clearly had some artistic talent…which absolutely cannot be said for many (most?) others.

I call this one my florida rosary... to pray that my state government gets a grip

the bead colors are meant to evoke a shoreline, the our father beads are lampwork oranges, the seashell charm is meant for an extra prayer for the protection of our beautiful environment

“I picture my soul as a patch of bare ground and I beg the Blessed Virgin to clear it from all rubbish and then build there a vast pavilion fit for heaven and adorn it with her own jewels.”

Bookplate Beauts: Jerome

We love this bookplate, in use in the mid-20th century at Andover-Harvard Theological Library (now Harvard Divinity School Library) partially because the Latin translation by St. Jerome (also called Hieronymous) is so important in the history of biblical studies, but also because Jerome is the patron saint of librarians. :)
