The open pages of the book contain a Latin passage that reads: “I will break thy chain, the chain of the darkness and long night of which thou art a slave so that thou might not be condemned with this world.”

It reportedly took Queirolo seven years to fabricate the marble net, which he crafted without a workshop, apprentice, or other form of external assistance. The Sansevero Chapel Museum notes that this was because even the most specialized sculptors “refused to touch the delicate net in case it broke into pieces in their hands.“
