Borrowed this from the library of the Episcopalian church in Brunswick yesterday and looked through it last night. Haven't read much of the text, though. Pretty impressive collection, if I do say so myself. ALL classical, needless to say. Includes photos both long and closeup of the frescoes by Raphael and Michelangelo(the Sistine Chapel).
