Breviarium ad usum Cistercien(sis) ordinis.

Anno dni. Millesimo cccc.xii. Ab eode(m) monachi qui precedentia disposuit / sedula cura castigatum / taliterque in omnibus emendatum: ut qua(n)to ceteris havtenus imp(re)ssis / prepolleat: diligens quisque lector facile iudicabit. Paris, de Marneff, 1512. cl.-8°. Printed in two columns; Gothic type; 36 lines and headline. 23 unnum. Leaf, 191 roman foliated leaves (wrongly foliated 192), 1 white leaf (numbering of quires: a8, ê8, i1-7; A-Z8, AA8). With 2 color illuminated borders on gold ground (fol. Ir and CLXXXv) and 18 painted initials heightened with gold. Printed in red and black throughout, rubricated and ruled. Woodcut printer's mark on the first leaf. With lombards painted in red. Modern pigskin binding (signed Hedberg) with gilt-stamped spine title and brown-stamped cover ornaments, gilt edges. Bohatta, Bibliographie der Breviere 1501-1580, p. 120, 1350 (a single, defective copy in Munich (no longer traceable today). Pettegree & Walsby, French Books, 66540 (no proof of copy). Moreau, Répertoire II, p.116: no.258 (only with reference to the missing Munich copy). Not in Brunet and Adams. Not to be found in WorldCat. or in the electronic catalog of the Bibliothèque nationale. Fragment, comprising about two thirds of the text. According to the list of quires on the last available leaf (AA8), a complete copy should have the following quire count: a-k8, A-Z8, AA8, A-T8, i.e. a total of 372 leaves. Our copy has the first 23 unnumbered leaves (ã8, e8, i1-7) and the 192 Roman foliated leaves (A-Z8, AA8). Contains first a "Tabula" (fol. a2), followed by the "Regule generales ordinarii" (fol. a3-a6r), the "Directorium kalendarii" (fol. a6v) and the calendar (fol. a7-e4v); this is followed by two further tables with Sunday numbers and instructions for their use (fol. e6r-e7r). This is followed by the "Commemorationes proprie", the "Collecte", the "Suffragia quadragesime" and the "Benedictiones" (fol. e7v-i7v). This is followed by the entire Sunday section. The volume is thus missing the entire psaltery and the saints' part. In excellent condition, but somewhat trimmed during binding, with loss to the borders, but not to the text. The first of the two very finely illuminated borders heightened with gold with floral scrolls and a dragon at the foot, the second also with floral scrolls and a mythical creature at the foot, unfortunately with a heavily trimmed bird at the side.
