Expressions of Faith

The Collect Britain project at the British Library has produced a number of nice virtual exhibitions during the past several years, and its latest offers an intimate look into the favorite sacred manuscripts of some notable individuals. Essentially, the British Library asked a number of well-known persons from different faiths to choose some of their favorite sacred manuscripts from the holdings of the Library. Saeed Jaffrey, one of the most famous Indian actors in the world, selects his favorite Islamic manuscripts here, which include images of the Taj Mahal and a Spanish Qu'ran from Granada. A number of other faiths are represented, including Jainism, Judaism, and Sikhism. For each object, each person was able to offer their own commentary, along with brief commentaries from Library curators.
