1 volume (unpaged) : illustrations ; 22 cm
poem: David Annwn ; calligraphy: Thomas Ingmire.
Poem inspired by the St. John's fragment, a papyrus fragment which is now in the collection of the Rylands Library at the University of Manchester (Rylands Library Papyrus P52), dated between 100 and 150 CE and thought to be the earliest extant manuscript of a New Testament text.
"Thomas Ingmire's calligraphy shows the image of the actual Fragment, then the restored page, then the English translation of the restored page. Mark Knudsen made the sencils for the pochoir painting of the Fragment. David Annwn's poem is printed in Tiepolo type to complement the Fragment which as, indeed, survived against the odds. This book is printed on Frankfurt Cream and bound in Cave Paper in an edition of 116 copies."--Colophon.
The Cushing Library/Laughlin Collection copy is no. 23, and is signed by David Annwn and Thomas Ingmire.
