[Untitled][edit]

I'm sorry, the person who edited this has trouble maintaining POV. If you wish to use a page to praise the Pepper Bible, create an article on the Pepper Bible. If you read the promotional literature given out at fundraising, it is very clear that this Bible is the first commissioned, which it is.

In addition,the Pepper Bible manuscripts are an incomplete Bible, including only a few books of the Old Testament. Maghnuis (talk) 16:32, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Another handwritten illuminated bible (not commissioned)[edit]

While it does not threaten the Saint John's Bible's title of first commissioned handwritten illuminated bible it might also be interesting to mention the “Bulley Bible.” I believe the Bulley Bible was made by Edward Bulley between 1969 and 1983 during his retirement.

As far as I know the Bulley Bible is still owned by Westmister Cathedral in London, yet not on public display. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.211.118.237 (talk) 20:35, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since the invention of the printing press?[edit]

The opening sentence says "...first completely handwritten and illuminated Bible to have been commissioned by a Benedictine Abbey since the invention of the printing press." Which printing press is that? Is it a block press or movable type press? Is it a European press or a Chinese press? Perhaps it would be better simply to give a year instead.
