My favorites were the illuminated manuscripts from the 10th century &#8211; especially the purple-stained vellum with real gold\/silver lettering.  The exhibit goes through Jan 7, so stop by if you get a chance &#8211; it&#8217;s free.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoodedhawk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/monument_night.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[smithsonian]\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent a relaxing afternoon yesterday at the Sackler Museum&#8217;s &#8220;In the Beginning: Bibles before the Year 1000&#8221; exhibit.
