I am awed by the reverence to the text by the extensive illumination as well as use of costly inks. The page you included with the large Hebrew lettering is a work of art in and of itself. . . not to mention of course, the calligraphy as a whole throughout. The ease of production since the printing press pales in comparison, as well as being valued, to the long and painstaking dedication to the elevated process represented millennia ago. Thank you Aleksandra for continuing to share these pieces of our history and lineage.
