Foundation in the Book Arts

For monastics, literacy and collection, care and preservation of books, the Bible in particular, have always been foundational to their spiritual identity and to the work and prayer of their daily lives. In the spirit of that tradition, Saint John's University sponsors The Saint John's Bible and the following programs:

• The Hill Museum and Manuscript Library  represents one of the largest, most comprehensive archives of Medieval and Renaissance sources in the world.

• Arca Artium is a distinctive collection of over 40,000 reference books, prints and other works with emphasis on book and liturgical arts.

• The Rare Books Collection includes over 4,500 books from the 19th and 20th centuries.
