Es una reproducción totalmente perfecta que merece público reconocimiento por lograr evocar en mi lo que pocos facsímiles logran y es, un literal viaje en el tiempo, gracias a sus páginas de exquisito carteo, su especial perfume, su legible caligrafía, sus magníficas e impactantes miniaturas, y a su no menos magnífica encuadernación. Sinceramente, gracias por la magia medieval del Lorvao.
