Für die Ausstellung "This Sacred Art" in der Pitts Theology Library an der Emory University in Atlanta habe ich diese Initiale auf einem Nachdruck der Titelseite von Eusebius' "De evangelica praeparatione" (1470) gestaltet. Den Prozess des Vergoldens und Malens der Initiale habe ich gefilmt und die Videos werden ebenfalls vor Ort gezeigt. Die Ausstellung kann auch virtuell besucht werden: digital.pitts.emory.edu/s/digital-collections/page/sacred-art.
