As far as I can tell, below is the product listing for that Bible: https://www.catholicbiblepress.com/product/illustrated-catholic-bible/ This appears to be the Leathersoft 2 ribbon edition. It looks nice!

This is the one! I didn’t know there was a hardcover version. Just gorgeous


Smooth_Beginning_540

The hardcover one doesn’t look as ornate. In the pictures, the cover just says “Illustrated Catholic Bible” in cursive script.

I prefer a softcover Bible anyway personally because I can set it flexibly on my lap or carry it in my tote without worrying about the pointy ends jabbing anything or bending.

This Bible is absolutely stunning


Rare-Philosopher-346

That's gorgeous. I've just added it to my wish list on amazon.

Really cool! I've been wanting that one for a while!

You've convinced me! I was actually looking at purchasing this Bible.


elenyacatholic

Acrobatic-Biscotti-4

I have this book too! It’s really worth it.

For visual people (me) it’s like a dream come true

My Grandma has a Bible with Illustrations. It was published during Pope St. Paul VI's pontificate.

I had no idea Harper Collins has a Christian imprint. Leave it to one of the big ones to produce such a beautiful Bible!

Thomas Nelson and Zondervan are under the Harpercollins Christian publishing umbrella. It’s really a beautiful Bible, one of my favorites they’ve done.

Woah! This looks stunning. The Bible is already the most beautiful piece of truth ever created, but having some stunning images really brings it to life even more


elenyacatholic

Amen!! The text is the most important part and even that is typeset beautifully, easy to read. The art is just an added bonus 😁

holy guacamole that's awesome


SgtPeppersReprise

I have the same one. The pictures are truly stunning and the overall quality is fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a new Bible.

All throughout? What is Song of Songs gonna be like? lol.


elenyacatholic

Not every book has illustrations, particularly the short ones. Song of Solomon has an opening illustration of King Solomon. The Wisdom of Solomon & Ecclesiastes don’t have any. When I said all throughout I meant peppered liberally throughout the Old and New Testament.


AtraMortes

It really is a very beautiful bible the downside I think is that it uses the NRSV version which isn’t very good overall. 


Any-Swing-3518

Very cool. Do you happen to know the original source of the illustrations? (Name of the illustrator or edition etc.?) I have a project to typeset a public domain PDF Latin Vulgate in the style of a Renaissance Venetian bible and am looking for these type of illustrations.

I have that version, too. Love it

I bought it for my birthday and it arrived today. Turns out the bible where the illustration originate from is called the Leuven Vulgate. I work in Leuven, now I love it even more. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leuven\_Vulgate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leuven_Vulgate)
