Internet Scavenger Hunt: Parchment Reproductions
So, here's the challenge. My 30th birthday is coming up, and I know exactly what I want, but I don't know how to find it.
This is a parchement fragment called Rylands P52. It contains a few words from the Gospel of John, and is generally accepted to be the oldest existing text of the new testament, dating from sometime in the mid 2nd century. I want to find someone to do a high quality reproduction of it, double the original size (the original is about 3 inches across, and about 5 inches long), on similar material. Both sides of the parchment contain script, so it would need to be a double sided reproduction. I'll be framing and displaying it in encased glass with both sides visible. Cost isn't really an issue, but quality is. So here's my challenge. Can anyone find me someone who does something like this? There are 6 Billion people on the planet, surely I'm not the first to want something like this? I've spent some serious time trying to track down a way to get this done, and I've just about exhausted my line of thinking. I figured the brilliantly creative folks on the Cellar might be able to help me along. Ladies and Gentlemen (and Lookout), start your engines! -sm
