Author: Francois Liensa.
Publisher: Cie12. Fixot Compagnie.

Description: 496 p. 8vo. French text. Publisher's white glossy color illustrated hardcover, folded art leaf edges, features the shape of a dove and PAX.

Symbolic meaning: In Christian liturgy, "the Pax" is an abbreviation of the Latin salutations "pax vobis" ("peace to you") or "pax vobiscum" ("peace with you"), which are used in the Catholic Mass, the Lutheran Divine Service, and the Western Orthodox Mass. The dove is also a sign of peace.
Before Christianity took root in the Mediterranean region, Pax (Latin for Peace), more commonly known in English as Peace, was the Roman goddess of peace derived and adopted from the ancient Greek equivalent Eirene.
