Show World's Largest Book Vienna claims the biggest book in the world. It is in the Dominican cloister carefully mounted in a case in one of the corridors. The book is made up of parchment leaves mounted mount-ed on thin wooden borders. On the parchment is maintained a death list of the cloister. The first entry was made in 1410, but even this date is 1S4 years more recent than the date of the cloister, Tor this home of Dominican Domini-can monks was founded in 1226, under the Babenbergers. |
