His new collection is dedicated to the religions of the world. The first in the series focuses on the Bible, the most widely read and printed book on religions, and the world linked to it: Christianity and Judaism. The large pens are made from ivory-coloured resins using a design technique of whalebone, dry-point engraving and Indian ink filling. The intricate drawings depict scenes from the Old Testament on the barrel: Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, David and Goliath, and the Ten Commandments. The Jewish version has a classic, antique look in natural ivory colour and unadorned. The cap depicts a spiritual moment of prayer at the Western Wall. Hidden in the blind cap is an engraving of a temple. Its cover presents the story of Jesus: his birth, baptism, the Last Supper and his Ascension into Heaven. An image of the shutter of the Holy Grail is hidden inside the cover. Both pens have a decagonal crown and end cap, the latter engraved with the Ten Commandments in Hebrew. The pen is fitted with a Visconti two-tone 18-karat gold nib and features a piston-filled shaft. Limited to 999 pens and 199 Rollerballs worldwide.

No copy of this edition by Soter located in the UK.French Renaissance humanist Guillaume Budé (1467-1540) was the most influential French scholar of the early 16th century. The Commentaries on the Greek Language first published in Paris a year earlier is 'a collection of lexicographical, philological, and historical notes, which formed the basis for the study of the Greek language in France. A monument of the New Learning, it was several times reprinted and gave Budé the reputation which is now commemorated in the Collection Budé series of modern reprints of Greek and Latin classics which now numbers more than 800 volumes. In his dedicatory preface to Francois I, the author reminds the King of his promise to establish a Royal College for the study of ancient languages, an appeal which led to the founding of the College Royal (also in 1530), today known as the Collége de France.
