Claude D. Conter, Director of the National Library of Luxembourg, comments, 'It is extremely rare for a manuscript to return to its 'place of origin' nearly a millennium after its creation, and rarer still for its journey over such a long period to be traceable year by year. The giant Bible that the BnL was able to acquire after lengthy negotiations is a unique example of this.'
Sandra Hindman, Founder and CEO of Les Enluminures, states, 'Les Enluminures is honored to continue to play a role in the repatriation of objects of cultural value to their origins. We are never happier than when our manuscripts go 'home'. When the owner approached me with a desire to sell, I immediately thought of Luxembourg.'
