About This Item
Trappist, Kentucky: The Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani, 1948. First Edition . Hardcover. Good+/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. (vi), vii, 139pp. An early Thomas Merton work. As noted in Dell'Isola's bibliography, the volume is "illustrated with 12 sepia photographs of ancient and modern Cistercian architecture which were taken by Jahan and Sauvageot, and a detailed sketch, with explanatory notes, of a typical Cistercian abbey in the 12th century." Although this copy was in a library, there is only a light discoloration to lower spine where a sticker used to be, and a faint erasure mark to upper corner of front free endpaper; else, no other areas of the book were subjected to library treatments. Clear and bright gilt lettering to spine and front cover. Nicely illustrated. Text clean. Binding sound
