The Lindall Traveling Elephant Folio

“There will be nothing like it in the world of books and manuscripts.” Terrance Lindall Terrance Lindall has always been fascinated that the Lindau Gospels with it's astounding bejeweled gold cover. "Lindau" is very much like his own name "Lindall." The "U" in Lindau might be two "L"s looped. There is also the famous Lindesfarne Gospels. Since the "Lind"s of these great manuscripts have always been pointing at him in some fashion, Lindall guesses that his subconscious has always been working toward making something like them, maybe greater. Now Lindall has a collection of loose gem stones that are quite nice and some very large (rubies, emeralds, sapphires, citrons, etc.) . The crown jewel is the 134 K. Emerald seen below superimposed on the the cover of the Lindau Gospel. That emerald has always represented to Lindall the green Garden of Eden as Milton describes it "hanging in a golden chain this pendant world."
