Franjevačka Biblija / Franciscan Bible: Part2
Let us look inside the Croatian edition of Franciscan Bible.
There are not many Croatian translations of the Bible. Edition from KS (Kršćanska Sadašnjost) is the most common, and it has not been changed for a while until Franciscan Bible which is actually the older and neglected and refreshingly different translation of holy scriptures that came to life thanks to Naša ognjišta, Hrvatski biblijsko društvo i Kršćanska sadašnjost.
Printed in China ....
on very thin paper looks surprisingly well made ...
especially the binding.
Stitching is visible.
Looking at the content page you see the difference from other Croatian translations.
Names of the books are different ....
maybe weird.
But it is a actually a good thing ....
especially if you are bibliophile.
The other good thing are the full commentaries from KS Bible placed as a footnotes instead of end notes.
I prefer this binding over hardcover edition because it is more durable ...
and easier to hold in your hands.
Leather would be better choice but that is one of the best in Croatia.
