This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen, and if it is ever published, I want one for Christmas!
A German art student has created an edition of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Sillmarillion–illuminated like a medieval manuscript.
Artist Benjamin Harff created his book as his exam project for a German Academy of Art. The project took him a year. You can read an interview with the artist, and see more of his fantastic designs at The Tolkien Library.
