Framed

We found a glittering surprise when we opened this volume from 1501/02. The book contains the Latin text of the biblical book of Ezekiel, along with commentary by the 13th century Dominican priest, Hugh of St. Cher.

The decorated letter here (the only one found in this volume) has a frame border which itself echoes the framing of the biblical text by its commentary.

Biblia latina cum postillis Hugonis de s. Charo. [Basel : Johann Amerbach for Anton Koberger, 1498-1502]. (v.5)

An anti-fascist song.

Lyrics:

Bibles, Flags and Guns

Oh the fascists they are everywhere Yes they are the ones Known to hide their hate behind bibles, flags and guns

The flag I pledge allegiance to I hardly recognize Now it's in the enemy camp and I'm starting to realize We'll have to steal it back and put an end to all their lies

Oh the fascists they are everywhere Yes they are the ones Known to hide their hate behind bibles, flags and guns

The Bible that they hold can't be the same one that I read Cause they're ignoring every word that Jesus ever said Self-righteous hypocrites - they're making their own bed

Oh the fascists they are everywhere Yes they are the ones Known to hide their hate behind Bibles, flags and guns

Played at war when we were boys we stopped when we were teens The ones who never grew out of it own AR-15s And the carnage never ends - it's what a fascist movement needs

Oh the fascists they are everywhere Yes they are the ones Known to hide their hate behind Bibles, flags and guns

They don't believe in climate change, don't see the rising water Child brides - it's no surprise they're looking at your daughter While they selectively enforce law and order

Oh the fascists they are everywhere Yes they are the ones Known to hide their hate behind Bibles, flags and guns

Tiny Thumb Tuesday

This little guy is an 1849 printing of a very condensed version of the Bible. Commonly known as “thumb bibles” these tiny books were (and are) popular gift items. Despite the small physical size of the pages, the print itself is not tiny, and easy to read.

The Thumb Bible: Verbum sempiternum. John Taylor, ed. The third edition, with amendments. London: Longman and Co., 1849.

Museum of the Bible Returned a 1,000-Year-Old Looted Gospel to a Greek Monastery

by Francesca Aton

The Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. returned a more than 1,000-year-old handwritten gospel to the Greek Orthodox Church on Tuesday. It was transferred to an Eastern Orthodox Church during a private ceremony in New York.

The manuscript, which had been looted from a Greek Monastery in World War I and was acquired by the museum at a Christie’s auction in 2011, is expected to be repatriated next month to the Kosinitza Monastery in northern Greece. There, for hundreds of years, it had been used in religious services, along with more than 400 volumes, before being taken by Bulgarian forces in 1917.

The manuscript’s history and chain of ownership is traced on the Museum of the Bible’s website, including its creation in the late 10th- or early 11th-century through various sales after the end of the war.

This gospel is among the latest artifacts in the museum’s collection to be returned in an ongoing effort to regain credibility. The museum has been investigating the provenance of the whole collection in recent years. Early acquisitions by its founders, the owners of the craft store chain Hobby Lobby, included thousands of items looted from the Middle East. In 2017, the company paid $3 million to settle claims with the U.S. government for failing to conduct proper due diligence before buying a number of antiquities in 2009.
