- Description is exactly "This first edition of the Gospels in Arabic was illustrated with sixty-eight woodcuts. The illustrations were designed for this edition by the Italian painter and printmaker Antonio Tempesta (1555–1630). Tempesta was a highly gifted and original artist, but the exhibited image corresponds so closely to Dürer’s woodcut of <em>Christ Nailed to the Cross</em> in the <em>Small Passion</em> that its creation seems to have been intended as an act of homage to great the German printmaker."
