young man twenty six years of age, pro-

Tedious Work of Cid Doo,smakers.

During the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries monks frequently isolated
themselves from the world and repro
duced the Bible in illuminated manu-
script The work was necessarily slow
and in no instance was it accomplished
in less than 80 years. Guido de Jars
was producer of these illuminated
manuscripts, and beautiful specimen
of his work was sold along with the
books Of Sir W. Burrell in 1900. This
copy of the Bible had occupied half a
century in it's production. A note in the
beginning Of the manuscript in Jars
handwriting indicates that he began his
task in 1914 and did not conclude IL till
1894.
