Here the will find the form of every cross he has ever seen and many and more, each called by name and presented with simple eloquence by an artist, Johannes Trager, who presents his work not only as a refrainer work for Christians but also as a handbook for artists, architects and , who will find this exquisite book a thing of unusual beauty. The type of the brief text is also designed by the author. It's a good book as well as look at.
