Psalms 2
Translated by Henry Wansbrough OSB
Drawings by Rosemary Roberts
The psalms are prayers, the ancient prayers of Judaism, which were adopted into Christianity to form the basis of the Church’s prayer.
A selection of 23 psalms taken from the translation by Henry Wansbrough OSB in The New Jerusalem Bible was published by The Celtic Cross Press in 1990 and quickly sold out.
This is a second collection of 24 psalms, divided into 5 sections, with an introduction and reflections by the translator.
The book is a limited edition of 120 copies with 5 full page pencil drawings by Rosemary Roberts.
The paper is Vélin Arches and the book was printed at The Celtic Cross Press and bound in full cloth covered board at The Abbey Bindery.

Angels
Angels is a celebration in words and woodcuts of the role of angels in the Bible. It is printed by letterpress on Vélin Arches paper, quarter bound in goatskin, and contained in a cloth-covered drop-back box. The deep faith and theological knowledge of the illustrator, the author and the designer are reflected in the quality of their contributions, which are the fruit of a four-year collaboration.  We have also made available a reduced facsimile paperbound edition.
Angels will be an important addition to Christian colleges and cathedral libraries around the world as well as to the collections of individuals who love rare books of fine quality.
