Gealt and George Knox assemble, present, and document for the first time a cycle of 313 drawings of scenes from the New Testament by the eighteenth-century Venetian draftsman Domenico Tiepolo (1727-1804).

Description
"Testaments Betrayed is written like a novel: the same characters appear and reappear throughout the nine parts of the book, as do the principal themes that preoccupy the author. Kundera once again celebrates the art of the novel, from its birth in a spirit of humor unique to European culture and sensibility - illustrated by some wonderful examples from the work of Rabelais and Cervantes - through its flowering in successive centuries.
