Description

One of 10 copies printed on vellum. The decorative quality of the book, which contains only one frontispiece illustration by Guthrie, comes largely from the presentation of the text, with each of the eight blessings pronounced by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount written out in a calligraphic hand.
