An ancient Vatican "Bernini" ledger from Ron Howard's thriller sequel Angels & Demons. Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) studied the pages of an ancient ledger containing information about sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Langdon engaged Chartrand (Thure Lindhardt) to translate the Latin writing and believed he found a clue relating to the sculpture The Ecstasy of St. Theresa.

Illustrator Andrea Dopaso undertook extensive research at the J. Paul Getty Museum to produce this detailed ledger. The cover of the book is made from thick yellow card covered in a wax-like film, and is distressed to appear aged and mouldy. Every interior page features Latin calligraphy accounting the many pieces created by Bernini, with highly detailed watercolor illustrations of various sculptures throughout. Exhibiting signs of intentional distressing all over, the book displays light creasing down the spine and minor edge wear. Dimensions: 38.5 cm x 27 cm x 5 cm (15 1/4" x 10 1/2" x 2")
