Leather-bound illustrated Bible with San Damiano Cross cover design, translated by Ilmo.D.F. Torres. A.
History
This is a special edition leather-bound Bible featuring the San Damiano Cross, a Byzantine-style crucifix significant in Catholic tradition for reportedly speaking to St. Francis of Assisi in the 13th century. The cover incorporates Roman numerals I-X representing the Ten Commandments, Alpha and Omega symbols, and traditional Christian iconography with gold-bordered pages. This edition is particularly valuable to religious scholars and collectors due to its unique translation by Ilmo.D.F. Torres. A., which retains the original Hebrew and Greek texts while adding clarifications and notes from the Holy Fathers and sacred expositors. The combination of scholarly content with artistic presentation makes it especially appealing to Franciscan devotees, theological researchers, and bibliophiles interested in annotated religious texts.
