VATICAN CITY (AFP) - Pope Benedict XVI has put the finishing touches on the first volume of a work titled "Jesus of Nazareth" that will hit the bookstores in the spring, the Vatican has said.

The pope "has finished editing the first part of the book, entitled 'Jesus of Nazareth', and returned it a few days ago to the Vatican publishing service," the Vatican said in a statement.

It added that the Italian publishing house Rizzoli was engaged to edit and print the work, to be published in spring 2007, for the Vatican.

The first of two volumes covers the period between Jesus's baptism in the River Jordan to the Transfiguration in 10 chapters.
