Notes:

A facsimile Giclee print on canvas of a gold illuminated scroll depicting illustrations of Milton's Paradise lost. The original scroll by Terrance Lindall, is held by the Yuko Nii Foundation.

Title and imprint from colophon.

The scroll reads from right to left. The scroll begins with the great omniscient eye of God. In the iris of the eye reads "The Word". Below the eye is the tree of life. The upper portion of the scroll, in seven panels, contains the paintings depicting scenes from Milton's poem. The bottom part is the text that is only to be read as captions, not complete Miltonic quotes. The final panel is a library with a Benedictine monk named Wickenheiser holding a book. Dr. Robert J. Wickenheiser assisted the Yuko Nii Foundation to produce the facsimiles from the original scroll.

Local Notes:

Presented to the Penn Libraries by Joseph A. Wittreich in honor of Stuart A. Curran. "For Joseph Wittreich" inscribed on lower left; signed by the artist and numbered 9/50 on bottom right.
