"The title-page contains a figure of the Saviour ... in a niche, ornamented in a style corresponding with the rest of the volume."--p. iii.
"It has been sought to render the cover also appropriate, by enriching it with medallions representing the principal miracles: it has been partly taken from a ... cover in carved ivory, executed in the 12th century ... The designs of the medallions are original."--p. iv.
