[MR] See "Prayers and Portraits: Unfolding the Netherlandish Diptych" at NGA

[Cecelia Hughes]

And as you were doing that, we were across the Mall at the Sackler,
looking at "In the Beginning," the display of pre 1000 bibles and pages
that are on display there.  Also awesome!  It had some of my favorite
pages from the Codex Aureus!  I had to work really hard to keep from
drooling on some of the displays.  Especially nice if calligraphy is
your forte.
