The Illuminated Gospels --- a wonderful project with Cambridge University Press

Following the creation of the Psalter of Ligugé, Jane embarked upon another scriptural and prayerful project (this time from her studio at home) : original versions in calligraphy and illumination of all four of the Gospels, in the traditional English of the King James Version.  The series began with The Illuminated Gospel of Saint John, published in a beautiful edition by Cambridge University Press in November 2024.

Jane continued with The Illuminated Gospel of Saint Matthew, published in September 2025.  She has now begun work on Saint Mark, which will probably be available in time for Christmas next year (2026). 

To order a copy of the two Gospels published so far, please visit the site of Cambridge University Press.

Reviews of both of these lovely editions can be seen on the “News” page.

Further information is available on the Facebook and Instagram pages of Cambridge University Press.
