I kind of have an idea for a long term project about creating a full illuminated manuscript of Erra Pater. Below is sort of a "sample" I created of what a page would look like. The caligraphy is hand written to give it more of an authentic feel but I assume if I adopt this as a long-term project I will Get better at it.
My vision is to have two columns per page and I can hopefully get it in 10 pages if I write small enough. If there is interest I will deliver! Otherwise I may do some other (shorter) books that I find in game. Cheers!

This is absolutely incredible. I love the little dude at top. I can't wait to see the other pages you do when you get to them, that's amazing.

I appreciate the feedback! This is the first two paragraphs of the first page so there will be a lot more going on when I get to the real thing.
What I believe will look best is double column paragraphs. While I haven't done a word count, I think the whole book can be written this way in 15 pages if I write small enough. I also intend to do a title page and some artwork for the book inspired by Byzantine iconography. Honestly, I wouldn't be against designing an icon for Dav and the saints in that same light. It was the first thing I thought of when I joined the server and began looking into the religion.
We'll see where it goes!
