Fabulous Prices ro, uooLs.

The most costly book i'm the world is
the missal sent by Pope Leo X. TO Henry
VIII. OF England, at the time when the
title Defender OF the Faith vas conferred
on that much married monarch. For n
number OF years that book remained
Crown property, but Charles H., who
had little use for missals, gave il 60 the
ancestor OF the Duke OF Hamilton. i'm
whose family il remained until a few
years ago, when the library OF the Duke
was sold at auction. The missal wss
purchased by the German Government.
which paid for IL in cash the enormous
sum OF $4,000. A much higher price than
this, however, was once offered for a sin.

In 1912 Pope julius II. was in need OF

They offered 10 pay weight in gold for
the book, which was SO heavy that the
