Viterbo Retreat - Choir


The book is an old book of Chant Antiphones for the various hours of prayer. The book is HUGE! It may look small in the picture, but it is about 3 feet tall, 1.5 feet wide (closed) and about 3/4 feet deep. It must way about 25 pounds or so. The paper for the pages are this animal skin (leather), and the cover is wood. The entire book is hand written (they didn't exactly have print presses when this book was made).
