Of Biblical Proportions

This weighty tome is a deluxe beautiful limited edition of the New Revised Standard Version Bible, lavishly decorated with masterpieces of illuminated art from the Vatican Library,  published by Turner Publishing--Oxford University Press in 1995.  It is bound in cloth with intricate gold stamped decorations and gilt edges.  


This volume is a first edition.


The bible is illustrated throughout with richly-colored reproductions of historic illuminations.  The brilliant pictures were produced with a six-color printing process, including a special metallic gold ink.





In addition, there are ornately decorated pages for recording family history, including marriages, births, deaths, baptism, and confirmations.  The pages are all blank, ready to record your family's  important events for passing down through the generations.  This is truly a good book and would be a wonderful gift for a religious scholar, an art historian, or the family genealogist.
