This is absolutely beautiful! I'm so glad I found your blog. Thanks for sharing this project with the masses! Are some of these books also on display at the Walters Art Museum?
ReplyDeleteYup, a few are always on view, but we rotate them, because they are sensitive to light. We are planning a big islamic manuscript show though, a couple of years time.
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful - hopefully I'll be able to catch it.
