The Lisbon Hebrew Bible has helped me realize that design has
played a large role in conveying information throughout history. This Bible has
a sharp contrast of colors on every page. The boarder of intricate flowers and
birds are contrasted with inlays of gold text around the main text. Repetition
is clearly seen in the text style and flower boarders from page to page. The
text is aligned in two columns down each page for the most part. Proximity is
apparent in the text to group what appear to be chapters. Larger or smaller
spaces are around different headings.
