<p>[QUOTE="Cattitude, post: 9423220, member: 76242"]I have Raphaël's Bible with art based on his work collected from the late 1700s to early 1800s. From what I found out, this is a unique and one-of-a-kind really rare book that contains 200 pages of engravings / plates outlined on thick laid paper. Pages measure 29cm x 22cm. The bottom left text reveals that the original artwork was created by the renowned artist Raphael ("Raphael pinx"), right side text provides the name of the author who based their work on this art. Centre title is displayed in three languages: French, German, English. There is no title page so publisher and exact year is unknown.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you try to google this book or look it up on ViaLibri you will not find any traces. Worldcat shows only 1 copy of a similar book but larger dimensions and less page plates (54) in one of the London's Libraries.
