A full-size reproduction of The Saint John's Bible will be available for pre-order beginning Sept. 1, for $115,000.

Orders placed after June 30, 2007, will cost another $15,000.

The Saint John's Bible is the first handwritten and illuminated Bible commissioned by a Benedictine monastery since the printing press was invented.

It's scheduled to be completed by December 2008.

The Saint John's Bible Heritage Edition will contain the same seven volumes as the handmade original, as well as an extra volume of commentary.

The original will be two feet tall and three feet wide and nearly 1,100 pages.

Only 360 reproductions will be available.

Each copy will be signed by Donald Jackson, the artistic director of The Saint John’s Bible.

Proceeds will help pay to preserve ancient Christian texts and create a permanent home for The Saint John's Bible.
