Biblical verses are poems on biblical themes by Anna Akhmatova (1889–1966), one of Russia’s major 20th century poetesses. Continuing on the biblical theme of his first four books, Karasik drew the illustrations in reed pen on four folded sheets with a text written in steel pen. The 16 pages are loose in a paper cover. The illustration of the frontispiece exists in two versions: a few copies show a detailed portrait drawing of the

poetess, the greatest part of the edition contains a

line drawing of torso and portrait in profile. Copies of the

second are also somewhat larger. The total edition is

limited to 46 copies.
