INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS- PLEASE READ THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BELOW.After many years of anticipation, I am proud to be offering a reprint of the magnificent Latin Vulgate Bible published by the Society of St. John the Evangelist, 120 years ago. These Vulgate bibles are a true icon of Catholic history and can be described as a "modern adaptation of a medieval manuscript." ​ In our present day, traditional Catholic worship and devotion is under attack. This reprint of the Latin Vulgate Bible is both a testimony to Catholic Tradition and a living archive of Catholic scriptural legacy. It also pays homage to the authority of the Clementine text and is a tribute to the what seems to be the lost art religious and liturgical typesetting and printing.​An excerpt from the "Editor to the Reader" of this bible perfectly summarizes both the reasons it was originally published and why we have labored to bring it back into print:May, finally, this edition of the Sacred Bible be published, and may it bear exceedingly rich fruits of knowledge and piety; we humbly pray that St. John the Evangelist, our great patron, who drew his stream of divine eloquence from the sacred font itself of the Lord’s breast and, inebriated with the grace of the Holy Ghost, more deeply revealed to others the hidden things of Divinity, might obtain these results for us through his kind intercession with the most sacred Heart of Jesus.Features:-Complete text of the Latin Vulgate Bible, Old and New Testaments with "extra-canonical" books of the Old Testament.-Entirely in Latin-Text edited according the Vatican Edition of the Clementine Vulgate of 1598 A.D.-Fully cross referenced between Old and New Testaments and vice versa-Chapter headings-Engravings that illustrate biblical scenes at the beginning of many books of the bible-Text is arranged for excellent readability and typeset in a beautiful Elzevirian fontSpecifications:-Exact facsimile of original, true to the original with no additions/subtractions(only minor corrections to the scans were done, to improve legibility)-"Soft Touch" matte laminated hardcover -6" wide X 9" tall pagesExternal dimensions: 6" wide X 9" tall X 1 1/2" thick-984 total pages-40# paper -2
