Leatherbound Psalter and Gospels in Brown Goatskin, Fr Lazarus Moore's translation

This is a hand-sized case binding binding of a Psalter and Gospels that have been stitched together as one book. It is made from veg-tanned goatskin that I have dyed and tooled myself, and has hand-stitched headbands, printed marbled endpages that have been waxed with beeswax, and two ribbon markers. It has printed marbled edges that have been finished with beeswax.

The text block comprises Father Lazarus Moore's translations of the Psalter and the Gospels. The books are digitally printed on 90 gsm Munken Pure paper in archival-quality pigment ink. The text of the Psalter has been adapted to render the forms of address in more contemporary English (You/Your instead of Thee/Thou) and some minor changes have been made in line arrangement. It uses UK spelling, capitalises divine pronouns, and follows the Septuagint numbering of the Psalms, while the Gospels use US spelling. It should be noted that chapters 23 and 24 of St Luke's Gospel could not be found and have been replaced with text from the World English Bible.

Please note that this book is being sold at a considerably reduced price for two reasons. Firstly, I am not happy with the quality of the printed marbled edges, particularly on the fore edge. And secondly, some of the pages at the front of the book have narrow margins - see the photo of page 6. (There are around a dozen that narrow and then they gradually get wider).
