[DEVOTION]
Renaissance parish book containing the services for the Sundays and feasts of the year according to the Roman rite.
In-8°, 631 pp. with illustrated borders in renaissance style, 6 engravings h.t. Dark green morocco, gilt plate in the centre of the boards, chased and openworked metal clasps, ornate ribbed spine, framed in dark green morocco with gilt lace inside, edges gilt on marble (Gruel)
Beautiful edition of this parish book which draws its interest not only from the line engraved frames found on each page but especially from the 6 superb copper-engraved plates reproducing those of the most illustrious engraver of the late Middle Ages Martin Schongauer (circa 1450-1491). Beautiful copy bound by Gruel. Some light rubbing
