The Treasure of the Holy Sepulchre
SilvanaEditoriale 2013
English translation from French by Scriptum
Gathered together over the centuries and spared none of their events, the works in precious metals, vestments, paraments and paintings presented here can certainly be regarded as a treasure both by virtue of their nature and especially because they were crafted for the sanctuaries in the Custody of the Holy Land and the religious services held there. The Latin or Catholic treasure of the Holy Places of Palestine, above all Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Nazareth, are pledges of faith and piety in accordance with hallowed forms. Some forty scholars, including many of international renown, contributed to the compilation of this work on the treasure of the Holy Sepulchre.
