Description: This title page introduces the New Testament; at the top, symbols of the life of Moses and Jesus Christ are juxtaposed; at the top middle, the Holy Spirit represented as a dove descends from above; a lamb representing Christ is flanked by cherubim holding the name of God written in Hebrew on the left, and the name of Jesus written in Greek on the right, stands victorious in center; at bottom, Christ emerges victorious, adorned with a halo problaiming him as the savior of the world; to his right is John the Baptist, poiinting and holding a banner which reads "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world"; to his left is John, holding the cup of Christ and standing in front of his symbol, the eagle; under John is an inscription, "Come Lord Jesus".
