These volumes
are each more than 10" X 13" tall, HEAVY, and wonderful.
The visual and text elements of this masterpiece
all work together to provide a wonderfully
explained and illustrated journey through the Gospels.
A typical double-truck page spread provides these three following text and visual elements:
1-The Gospels in Latin with English Translation adjacent;
2-The Interpretation and Discussion of those Gospels set right
beneath;
3-Incredible
"Explanatory Drawings."
Condition:
VG minus for bumping and rubbing to boards and very light toning and softening of outer edges of pages. Tight. Volume 2 has
white stains on front boards. Still nice.
