The authors report the discovery of the second quasar with a redshift greater than 4. This object, which has an r magnitude of 21.0, was detected on a CCD grism survey. The spectrum of the quasar has strong, relatively narrow (but resolved) emission lines; there is a deep absorption trough ≡100 Å wide on the blue wing of the Lyman-α line; and the continuum at wavelengths shorter than the absorption feature is far weaker that the level present redward of Lyman-α.
