Description from the seller
A very RARE and beautiful book.... "The temple of knights of Malta" published in 1999 by Miranda Publications. This book is a commemoration of the great artistic achievement preserved today as the Co-Cathedral in Valletta. The Conventual Church of St John is the finest testimony of the Order’s aspirations and splendour at any time in its 900 year history. The narrative reveals the wonders of the place for all to relish and enjoy. From old master paintings to priceless hangings, from precious objects and haughty tombs, the author has extracted some of the most interesting happenings of former times for our perusal and fascination. In addition, the photography does unmitigated justice to Malta’s most important treasure. The general magnificence and wondrous detail of the wealth and memorable quality of St John’s is resplendent in this brilliantly illustrated book. Written by Nicholas De Piro with wonderful photographs by Daniel Cilia.
The book is hard-bound with cloth cover and gold foil printing and comes in a sturdy cloth covered presentation box. 304 pages including 170 pages of colour photographs. Box with light corners bent...AS NEW condition.
Uncommon. Rarity.
Very heavy book!!!
