The Book of Tobit. Translated from the Vulgate by Le Maistre de Sacy. With a preface by Abbé Jean-Pierre Altermann. Illustrations by Maurice DENIS, woodcuts by Jacques BELTRAND. Paris, n.p., 1929. Folio format in folios, ivory cover with flaps, title in gold lettering, in a slipcase with title in red lettering and cord ties (slipcase worn). Numerous foxing spots. 29 compositions by Maurice Denis, woodcuts by Jacques Beltrand, including 27 in color. Printed in an edition of 200 copies; this copy was printed for Mr. Jean-François MAURICE DENIS, the painter’s son. The biblical story of Tobit—which intertwines travel, family piety, marriage, and the intervention of the angel Raphael—resonated particularly well with Maurice Denis’s religious and family life.
