"Twelve students ... produced this limited edition letterpress book on four Vandercook presses. The visual aspects of the book were inspired by the geometric structures of medieval book imagery. The colors of the linoleum blocks reflect the ... [colors] in medieval miniatures. The Rumi poem, interpreted by Coleman Banks, was set in 14 pt. Scripps College Old Style and the responses were set in 12 or 14 pt. Centaur and Arrighi. Front and back matter were set in 14 pt. Scripps College Old Style, and the display letters were set in 18 or 14 pt. Weiss Initials. The Ginga Iridescent Orange bookcloth used for the binding introduces gold which was prevalent in medieval manuscripts. The sheets of Rives BFK paper are folded into signatures which are swen over Tyvek-reinforced tapes ... Edition of 103 copies."--Colophon.
