The book tells the story of the construction of the holy building that was built for Constantino Mango. Unfortunately I don’t know latin, so I couldn’t understand the story.
First there are several dedications, then there is an index, which indicates the following 59 chapters. After the end of the story there is a register which is followed by illustrations, most of them representing a drawing of a bible theme. Almost all the 38 illustrations are added at the end of the book. The book has 217 pages and has a size of 35x230x328mm, which is approximately a “Quarto” of the standard book sizes.
The book has a strange smell and its pages are very fragile, the hard cover indicates neither the name of the book nor the authors name, it’s just plain.
