Printing Details

First edition. Hardback with original covers bound in, rebound in plain binder's cloth with contrasting leather title label to spine. 22.5 × 14cm, 447pp + index. French text.

Illustrated with fold-out maps, site plans, architectural diagrams, and illustrations of early Christian epigraphy and frescoes, this is a handbook on early Christian archaeology in Rome and bridges the gap between a field manual and a rigorous academic overview of early subterranean Christian cemeteries.

Condition

Good condition. There is some mottled fading to the cloth, and some tanning to the original covers but the main body of text is in good readable condition.
