Male - ChristianSuper Nerd Creates Illuminated Copy of "The Silmarillion"
http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2011/08...tertainment%29
ben2.JPGOur friends over at TheOneRing.net report on a German art student named Benjamin Harff who spent a year and a half creating a one-of-a-kind, hand-made version of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion.
Harff’s gorgeous book contains hundreds of illustrations, illuminated pages, and calligraphic pages; the tome itself is custom bound in goat leather. (The actual text of the book is typed, not hand-lettered — Harff says “It would probably have taken a year just to write the pure text if I had written it by hand.”)

"I hate Manwe's posts because I hate babies and America." --Augustine2004, August 6, 2011
Then Morgoth turned upon Húrin, and he said: 'Fool, little among Men, and they are the least of all that speak! Have you seen the Valar, or measured the power of Manwë and Varda?
Do you know the reach of their thought? Or do you think, perhaps, that their thought is upon you, and that they may shield you from afar?'
'I know not,' said Húrin. 'Yet so it might be, if they willed. For the Elder King shall not be dethroned while Arda endures.'
The Words of Húrin and Morgoth, "The Children of Húrin" by J.R.R. Tolkien

Absolutely beautifully done.

If only it were in manuscript, in Quenya, as it should be.
