Luxuriate in the brass and regal blue tones of this Blue Luxe cover design.

The original book, crafted in the heart of Amsterdam in 1715, was bound in goatskin with elaborate gold tooling.

Contained inside the volume was the Oratio Dominica (Lord’s Prayer) in almost 150 languages and dialects, compiled by English courtier John Chamberlayne, creating a document of global appeal.The intricate details of this design reflect the tapestry of cultures in its original pages.

The translations spanned from Europe and Asia to Arabia, Persia, Syria and Turkey.

Chamberlayne, who was a writer and translator, spoke 16 languages himself.Let the many cultures that once lived within this 18th-century binding inspire you against Blue Luxe’s opulent backdrop.
