This is a very rare edition distribuited in just 3 copies, from the letter A to C, this one in particular is the A.

A work of art dedicated to the value of charity. Text: the Encyclical Deus Caritas Est. Limited to just five copies, it too is the ultimate expression of Italian savoir faire, transformed into art, and represents the desire to imbue sacred words with worthy beauty. “God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.” Thus begins Benedict XVI’s encyclical, the first of his pontificate. A Latin text of great intensity and beauty that marks the beginning of the Pope’s magisterium. Reviving the tradition of the finest era of book art, Deus Caritas Est, a text of high cultural and symbolic value, has become a total work of art in book form, worthy of standing alongside the great ecclesiastical texts of the past, where the sacred word was clothed in the beauty of matter and form. “Dress,” precisely, and adorn in a precious and dignified way the manuscript transcription of the original Latin encyclical Deus caritas est, this is the idea that guided the FMR-Marilena Ferrari Foundation in the creation of a unique project inspired by the ancient tradition of monastic scriptoria.
