THE ILLUMINATED BIBLE OF MERCY

154 original manuscripts from more than 40 libraries. A masterpiece of bookbinding craftsmanship. A strictly limited edition of the illuminated Bible of Mercy appeared in December 2016.

Each volume has a handwritten limitation number and comes in a luxury case to protect its precious binding.

GOLDEN CRAFTSMANSHIP

Gold played a central role in medieval manuscripts. It is symbolically important and has high decorative value. It symbolises imperishability, the divine word, wealth and power. We also apply real gold (at least 22 carat) to the facsimiles with precision craftsmanship and by using special processes. We also apply a patina in order to replicate the original's aesthetics.

Each of our facsimiles is a perfect reflection of cultural-historical book art.

The value performance of "limited" and "out-of-print" facsimiles is subject to similar factors as the art market. Supply and demand determine the price. We therefore expressly disclaim any guarantee that our facsimiles will retain their value or will increase in value.

A personal presentation to Pope Francis in Rome

Pope Francis has personally signed the Bible of Mercy's foreword. Charlotte Kramer, publisher at Müller & Schindler, and Michael Kriegler, managing director of DOMI exclusiv, had the privilege of personally presenting the first copy of the strictly limited edition of the illuminated Bible of Mercy to Pope Francis during an audience with him.

The Pope had already supported the luxury Bible when it was created. He not only wrote a very personal foreword himself, but also chose the children's hospital in Africa to which we are donating part of the proceeds.

Michael Kriegler, managing director of DOMI exclusiv,  said: ‚I am very grateful to Pope Francis for the trust he has placed in us and for his help in creating this unique edition.‘
