Abstract:	The first thing one notes about this volume is that it is beautifully presented, which is quite fitting for a book devoted to magnificence and splendour. Its quarto format and high-quality paper allow the numerous colour illustrations to be appreciated in vivid detail, but it is not a 'coffee-table book' intended mainly for decoration: the illustrations are essential, but they do not dominate the work.
