Peso Kg. 2,900 Splendido messale di grandi dimensioni e peso del 1730 in folio interamente scritto a caratteri rosso e neri con splendidi capilettera decorati, almeno 1 per pagina (ad esclusione dei canti gregoriani). All'interno del testo tre bellissime incisioni a piena pagina che raffigurano delle scene religiose (l'annunciazione, la crocifissione, la resurrezione). Bella vignetta al frontespizio. All'inizio del messale un introduzione dedicata alla memoria dei tre Papi che si erano occupati di redigerlo (Pio V; Clemente VIII; Urbano VIII) e una sorta di prefazione all'opera con delle tabelle indicanti il calendario liturgico che rimanda alle parti del messale da recitare. Presente anche Commune Sanctorum e Missae Propriae Sanctorum ad uso dei Frati Minori di San Francesco. Pagine e pagine di canti gregoriani all'interno. Il messale è del 1730, ma alla fine sono state aggiunte alcune parti: la Missae Propriae Sanctorum ad usum fratrum minorum S. Francisci del 1731, commemorazione di Maria Santissima della Madia di Monopoli della metà del 1700, commemorazione di Santa Pulcheria Vergine del 1753, San Gennaio Vescovo (numerosi strappi e pagina staccata) del 1731, San Stanislao del 1750 circa (staccato dalla legatura) e tre fogli anticamente manoscritti (uno con strappi e numerose mancanze). Imponente copertina in piena pelle settecentesca con borchie (vedere foto). Segnalibri di stoffa che aiutavano il sacerdote nella lettura. Era un testo che veniva abitualmente utilizzato quindi presenta dei segni d'uso come segni di restauro, cera e rare macchie di sporco (vedere specifica sotto). Antico manoscritto alla prima carta bianca e alle ultime pagine. Alto valore. Copertina in piena pelle settecentesca a cinque nervi con borchie e decorazioni a secco in discrete condizioni generali con usure e parti mancanti: le borchie al centro del piatto e la borchia inferiore destra del piatto posteriore risultano mancanti. Legatura in buone condizioni generali ma rottura alle sguardie, qualche pagina in parte staccata e alcuni fogli finali staccati. All'interno le pagine si presentano in buone condizioni generali con mende, rare fioriture, rari segni di sporco e di cera. Segno di tarlo al margine destro e inferiore dalla prima pagina sino alla fine senza perdita di testo. Strappo al margine inferiore di pag. 193 inficiante testo e incisione. Segno di restauro al margine inferiore di pag. 195 e 198. Very beautiful missal of big dimension and weight of 1730 in folio enterely written in black and red charachters with faboulous decorated initial letters, at least 1 for page (excluding Gregorian music). Inside the text there are three beautiful full page engravings representing some religious scenes (annunciation, crucifission, resurrection). Very beautiful vignette in the title page. At the beginning three introductions dedicated to the memories of the three Popes that wrote it (Pio V; Clemente VIII; Urbano VIII) and a sort of introduction to the work with some charts indicating the liturgic calendar which indicates the part of the missal to be read. There are also Commune Sanctorum and Missae Propriae Sanctorum for the usage of Grey Friars. There are pages and pages of Gregorian music inside (see the photoes). The missal if of 1730, but as usual, at the end some parts were added: the Missae Propriae Sanctorum ad usum fratrum minorum S. Francisci of 1731, commemoration of Maria Santissima della Madia di Monopoli of 1750 circa, commemoration of Santa Pulcheria Vergine of 1753, San Gennaio Vescovo (different tears and page detached) of 1731, San Stanislao of 1750 circa (detached from binding) and three pages manuscripted in ancient times (one with tears and different missing parts). Imponent full skin decorated cover of the XVIII century. Very beautiful decorated initial letters. Fabric bookmarks to get easier the reading to the priest. It was a text that was normally used, so we find some signs of usage as restoration signs, rare wax signs and rare dirt's signs (see details in the description below). High value. Full leather cover of the XVIII century with five nerfs and studs in fair conditions with wearings and missing parts: the central studs and the lower right stud of back plate are missing. Binding in good general conditions apart for a crack in the frontspice, some page almost detached and some final pages detached. Inside pages are in good conditions with usage signs, occasional foxings, wax and dirt's signs. Worming in the right edge and lower edge in the whole volume with no loss of text. Tear in the lower edge of pag. 193 ruining text and engraving. Restauration sign in the lower edge of pag. 195 and 198.

Provenance: contemporary inscription in French on front flyleaf listing "Messes pour tous les iours de la sepmaine" Masses for every day of the week; loosely inserted armorial papercut unidentified arms lion rampant on a chief three roses.An imposing post-Tridentine Missal an unrecorded issue in a fine Parisian gold-tooled binding. The illustrations of this copy differ from the other known copies of this edition. The binding tools appear on other books published by the same publishing consortium and have been associated with religious lay confraternities founded by Henri III in the 1580s.In 1570 with the papal bull "Quo primum" Pope Pius V imposed uniformity on the rites of Mass previously a hodge-podge of different local traditions. That bull was printed in all subsequent missals; it is accompanied here by papal and royal privileges which supply crucial information concerning the publishing history of this edition. Jacques Kerver was the first French libraire to obtain a privilege for the publication of liturgical works. When he died in 1583 the privilege passed to his widow who ceded it to a consortium of booksellers: Sebastian Nivelle Guillaume Chaudière Guillaume de la Noue Michel Sonnius and Thomas Brumen cf. Renouard Imprimeurs et libraires parisiens du XVIe siècle IV 22. That privilege expired on 22 December 1595. This edition includes Papal and Royal renewals of the Kerver privilege for the printing of "sacred books" Missals Breviaries and Offices of the Virgin granted respectively by Clement VIII and Henri IV both on 4 April 1596. For Thomas Brumen who had died in 1588 the Royal privilege substitutes his son-in-law and heir Jean Corbon II and adds the names of Claude Chapelet identified as bookseller to the Academy and Jamet Mettayer and Pierre L'Huillier respectively Royal printer and Royal bookseller Mettayer was also the official printer for the Royal confraternities.The preliminary matter further includes the reformed Gregorian Paschal calendar for the years 1582 to 1700 a table of moveable feasts for 1589 to 1621 the Rubricae generalis missae the Ritus servandus in celebratione Missae and an index of Saints' names. The second part of the Missal separately paginated contains the Commune Sanctorum. The subjects of the full-page illustrations are: the Annunciation: a small cut within an historiated woodcut border in twelve compartments showing four scenes from the life of the Virgin alternating with angels and the four Evangelists fol. êê4v; the Nativity B4v Crucifixion T6v opening the Canon Resurrection X4v Pentecost AA1v Last Supper BB3r and Last Judgment PP2v. These monumental woodcuts influenced by Italian and Flemish mannerism derive from various engraved sources including at least one engraving the Resurrection used by Jamet Mettayer in an Office of the Virgin published in 1586.The five smaller woodcuts printed from three blocks include a Crucifixion showing Longinus piercing the side of Jesus repeated twice the Last Supper and a smaller primitive Crucifixion cut. Noteworthy are the many historiated initials. Ruth Mortimer describing an edition by Kerver from 1574 noted that the elaborate historiated initials containing "figures of the saints the Evangelists and . New Testament scenes may be attributed to the same artists who worked on the illustrations. The blocks are so detailed as to give the impression of additional illustrations rather than initials." As in previous editions the initials were chosen carefully here to match the text: for example the four Rs opening the word Requiem in the Mass for the Dead ff. XX5 ff. incorporate a skeleton and funeral scenes.The full-page woodcuts had appeared previously in the Kerver-consortium's 1588 edition cf. an illuminated copy offered by Breslauer in 1981 cat. 104/II no. 192. Only a few copies of these repeatedly printed Paris post-Tridentine Missals survive in public collections and precise descriptions are few. The most thorough description is that by Ruth Mortimer of the Harvard copy of the 1574 Kerver edition. Both that edition and the 1583 edition of which there is a copy at the Newberry Library are illustrated with only two full-page woodcuts including the canon cut of the Crucifixion used here and numerous smaller woodcuts. The title of the 1574 edition bears the same Peter and Paul cut while the 1583 edition has Kerver's device.The present copy represents a previously unrecorded variant issue of the 1600 edition of which the two other copies located at the Austrian National Library digitized and with Sokol Books catalogue 65/64 are illustrated with engravings all but one of which differ iconographically from the present woodcuts. The exception is the aforementioned Resurrection woodcut which is copied in reverse from the engraving. The typesetting other than the title appears to be identical but rather than a letterpress title-page and woodcut full-page illustrations the other copies have an engraved title and seven full-page engravings. Another variant setting occurs in quires M and N: both issues have the small Longinus woodcut on M1v but the spaces here filled by 3 small woodcuts one used twice are left blank in the cited copies.The existence of multiple editions of these post-Tridentine Paris Missals has been documented; Mortimer for example noted that in 1574 Kerver printed two folio editions as well as quarto and octavo editions. From the early 1570s to the end of the century these liturgical books now rare were churned off the presses to meet the needs of priests and clerics throughout France and beyond several copies of the Kerver or Kerver-consortium editions survive in Spanish and Italian libraries. Under these circumstances the existence of multiple editions and variant issues is not surprising.The attractive Parisian binding shows signs of hasty finishing: the cornerpieces using a popular cherub's head and leafy branch motif are single stamps and those on the upper cover are unevenly placed so that three of them overlap the double fillet panel. It is however a luxury binding of high-quality goatskin and its decoration is charged with meaning which remains to be completely teased out. Several variants of the Crucifixion and Annunciation medallions were used on the bindings of a number of devotional books published by the present publishing consortium or by its individual members. A few of those bindings bear a motto Spes mea Deus used by members of the Confraternity of Penitents of the Annunciation founded by Henri III in 1583. Possibly by extension the Crucifixion stamp itself has been associated with the confraternity and with the three other "congregations" established by that devout monarch in 1583-85. The same large Crucifixion and Annunciation medallion stamps were used in a similar center- and cornerpiece design on the aforementioned Breslauer copy of the 1588 edition of this Missal and in a dated binding from 1599 covering a 1508 Verard book of hours in the British Library shelfmark c29f16 reproduced in the BL Database of Bookbindings. In both cases the corner feuillage stamps are different but the central medallions appear to be identical to those on this binding.Similar but not identical stamps besides those cited in the sources below are found on: a copy of Mettayer's 1586 Pseaultier de David recently offered by the Paris booksellers Laurent Coulet and Ariane Adeline in their catalogue "1586: Jamet Mettayer et les Confréries de Pénitents"; an Officium beatae Mariae Virginis Paris: apud Societatem Typographicum 1586 using both the Annunciation and Crucifixion medallions set within a fanfare design Bibliothèque Sainte Geneviève Réserve 8 Z 6685 INV 9940; and an Office de La Vierge published by Mettayer in 1586 BnF Réserve B. 1654 Lacombe 486. A book of hours for the use of Amiens Paris: for Guillaume de La Noue 1589 bound with several devotional tracts BnF Réserve B-27949; Lacombe 492 has a different Annunciation stamp but apparently the same Crucifixion stamp. Coulet and Adeline established a typology of 9 different Crucifixion stamps or 8 stamps and one variant the one used here being no. 8. Given these facts the possibility cannot be excluded that the publishers were involved in commissioning the bindings of this copy and of the other "Crucifixion medallion" bindings found on their imprints.This exceptional copy is of interest for the history of publishing printing illustration and binding; it raises questions about the very concept of an edition about the transmission of images and about the relations between printer-publishers bookbinders and book buyers in the hand-press period.

The work is printed in red and black. Plantin edition of the revised Roman Missal following the directives of the Council of Trent first published in Rome in 1570 by order of pope Pius V 1504-1572 and later approved by Clemens VIII 1536-1605 and Urbanus VIII 1568-1644. The work was quite popular as Plantin published a new missal nearly every year from 1571 onwards. All editions were printed in different sizes and in two issues one with woodcut illustrations and one with engravings. The present copy is the octavo edition with woodcut illustrations and comes from the library of the famous Carthusian monastery of Buxheim Maria Saal near Memmingen Bavaria.The monstery of Buxheim was founded in 1402 and dissolved after the secularisation in 1803. The rich library was auctioned in 1883 by Förster and in 1884 by Ludwig Rosenthal in Munich. The Museum of the Charterhouse Buxheim today is actively studying the history of the library and the present location of its books and manuscripts. The present copy is bound in contemporary pigskin which was likely bound for the monastery itself as the rolls depict Saint Bruno who was the founder of the Carthusian order. The Missal is therefore probably bound in a South-German bindery in the surroundings of the monastery.With an ownership annotation on the title page "Cartusiae Buxheim". The binding is somewhat rubbed and soiled. The leaves are lightly browned some of the leaves are slightly stained especially around the leather tabs. Otherwise in good condition.l Belg.

After the Council of Trent 1545-1563 liturgical norms underwent significant changes with the aim of unifying and strengthening the practice of the Catholic faith in response to the divisive tendencies of the Protestant Reformation. Among the key reforms was a revision of sacred texts particularly the Roman Missal which was standardized and promulgated by Pope Pius V in 1570 through the bull Quo Primum Tempore. This new missal known as the Tridentine Missal standardized liturgical rites across the Latin Church eliminating local variations that had developed over the centuries except those with at least 200 years of tradition. Latin was retained as the official liturgical language and the gestures prayers and readings were clearly defined establishing a strict canon. This liturgical reform endured for centuries until a new wave of changes introduced by the Second Vatican Council in 1962 which led to the creation of an updated Roman Missal with greater openness to vernacular languages and more active participation of the faithful. Imprimatur: "We Brother Bassanus Galliciolus of Brescia of the Order of Preachers Master of Sacred Theology and General Inquisitor against heretical depravity in the City of Venice and throughout its Most Serene Dominion specially delegated by the Holy Apostolic Office. We have compared the Roman Missal recently printed by Mr. Bonifacio Ciera with another already duly approved and since it is found to agree with it in all respects as well as with the Decrees of the Sacred Congregation of Rites and of the Supreme Pontiffs we therefore grant permission for it to be published. And in testimony thereof etc. Given at Venice from the offices of the Holy Inquisition on the 1st of January 1673. Thus it is Brother Bassanus as above by his own hand."

The Roman Missal with origins in the high middle ages is the liturgical book from which the text and rubrics for the celebration of Catholic Mass with both prayers and music. One of the major advances of the Council of Trent the Catholic counter to the Protestant Reformation was to standardise the Missal. Pope Pius V acting on the concilliar deciion formalised this in his Quo Primum on 14 July 1570 - insisting that the standard form of the Missal was used throughout the Church except where a local missal could be proved to be of two centuries antiquity. Perhaps one of the most controversial Counter-Reformation decisions made at Trent the use of a standard Missal prevented the celebration of the Mass in vernacular languages and signified a further strengthening of Papal authority: particularly as all printed editions were prefaced by the Pope's order of standardisation. The Missal of Pius V was further edited by Clement VIII in 1604 and later by Urban VIII in 1634. . Large 8vo. H. Dessain hardcover

Unrecorded issue of an imposing post-Tridentine Missal in a fine Parisian gold-tooled binding. The woodcut illustrations of this copy differ from the other known copies of this edition which are illustrated with engravings. The binding tools appear on other books published by the same publishing consortium and have been associated with religious lay confraternities founded by Henri III in the 1580s. This exceptional copy is of interest for the history of publishing printing illustration and binding; it raises questions about the very concept of an edition about the transmission of images and about the relations between printer-publishers bookbinders and book buyers in the hand-press period. In 1570 with the papal bull “Quo primum” Pope Pius V imposed uniformity on the rites of Mass previously a hodge-podge of different local traditions. That bull was printed in all subsequent missals; it is accompanied here by papal and royal privileges which supply crucial information concerning the publishing history of this edition. Jacques Kerver was the first French libraire to obtain a privilege for the publication of liturgical works. When he died in 1583 the privilege passed to his widow who ceded it to a consortium of booksellers: Sebastian Nivelle Guillaume Chaudière Guillaume de la Noue Michel Sonnius and Thomas Brumen cf. Renouard Imprimeurs et libraires parisiens du XVIe siècle IV 22. That privilege expired on 22 December 1595. This edition includes Papal and Royal renewals of the Kerver privilege for the printing of “sacred books” Missals Breviaries and Offices of the Virgin granted respectively by Clement VIII and Henri IV both on 4 April 1596. For Thomas Brumen who had died in 1588 the Royal privilege substitutes his son-in-law and heir Jean Corbon II and adds the names of Claude Chapelet identified as bookseller to the Academy and Jamet Mettayer and Pierre L’Huillier respectively Royal printer and Royal bookseller Mettayer was also the official printer for the Royal confraternities. The preliminary matter further includes the reformed Gregorian Paschal calendar for the years 1582 to 1700 a table of moveable feasts for 1589 to 1621 the Rubricae generalis missae the Ritus servandus in celebratione Missae and an index of Saints’ names. The second part of the Missal separately paginated contains the Commune Sanctorum. The subjects of the full-page illustrations are: the Annunciation: a small cut within an historiated woodcut border in twelve compartments showing four scenes from the life of the Virgin alternating with angels and the four Evangelists fol. êê4v; the Nativity B4v Crucifixion T6v opening the Canon Resurrection X4v Pentecost AA1v Last Supper BB3r and Last Judgment PP2v. These monumental woodcuts influenced by Italian and Flemish mannerism derive from various engraved sources including at least one engraving the Resurrection used by Jamet Mettayer in an Office of the Virgin published in 1586. The five smaller woodcuts printed from three blocks include a Crucifixion showing Longinus piercing the side of Jesus repeated twice the Last Supper and a smaller primitive Crucifixion cut. Noteworthy are the many historiated initials. Ruth Mortimer describing an edition by Kerver from 1574 noted that the elaborate historiated initials containing “figures of the saints the Evangelists and . New Testament scenes may be attributed to the same artists who worked on the illustrations. The blocks are so detailed as to give the impression of additional illustrations rather than initials.” As in previous editions the initials were chosen carefully here to match the text: for example the four Rs opening the word Requiem in the Mass for the Dead incorporate a skeleton and funeral scenes. The full-page woodcuts had appeared previously in the Kerver-consortium’s 1588 edition cf. an illuminated copy offered by Breslauer in 1981 cat. 104/II no. 192. Only a few copies of these repeatedly printed Paris post-Tridentine Missals survive in public collections and precise descriptions are few. The most thorough description is that by Ruth Mortimer of the Harvard copy of the 1574 Kerver edition. Both that edition and the 1583 edition of which there is a copy at the Newberry Library are illustrated with only two full-page woodcuts including the canon cut of the Crucifixion used here and numerous smaller woodcuts. The title of the 1574 edition bears the same Peter and Paul cut while the 1583 edition has Kerver’s device. The present copy represents a previously unrecorded variant issue of the 1600 edition. I have located two other copies of the edition at the Austrian National Library digitized and with Sokol Books catalogue 65/64; they are illustrated with engravings instead of woodcuts all but one of which differ iconographically from the woodcuts in our copy. The exception is the aforementioned Resurrection woodcut which is copied in reverse from the engraving. The typesetting other than the title appears to be identical but rather than a letterpress title-page and seven woodcut full-page illustrations the other copies have an engraved title and seven full-page engravings. Another variant setting occurs in quires M and N: both issues have the small Longinus woodcut on M1v but the spaces here filled by 3 small woodcuts one used twice are left blank in those copies. The existence of multiple editions of these post-Tridentine Paris Missals has been documented; Mortimer for example noted that in 1574 Kerver printed two folio editions as well as quarto and octavo editions. From the early 1570s to the end of the century these liturgical books now rare were churned off the presses to meet the needs of priests and clerics throughout France and beyond several copies of the Kerver or Kerver-consortium editions survive in Spanish and Italian libraries. Under these circumstances the existence of multiple editions and variant issues is not surprising though the outright replacement of engravings with woodcuts or vice-versa seems unusual. The attractive Parisian binding shows signs of hasty finishing: the cornerpieces using a popular cherub’s head and leafy branch motif are single stamps and those on the upper cover are unevenly placed so that three of them overlap the double fillet panel. It is however a luxury binding of high-quality goatskin and its decoration is charged with meaning which remains to be completely teased out. Several variants of the Crucifixion and Annunciation medallions were used on the bindings of a number of devotional books published by the present publishing consortium or by its individual members. A few of those bindings bear a motto Spes mea Deus used by members of the Confraternity of Penitents of the Annunciation founded by Henri III in 1583. Possibly by extension the Crucifixion stamp itself has been associated with the confraternity and with the three other “congregations” established by that devout monarch in 1583-85. The same large Crucifixion and Annunciation medallion stamps were used in a similar center- and cornerpiece design on the aforementioned Breslauer copy of the 1588 edition of this Missal and in a dated binding from 1599 covering a 1508 Verard book of hours in the British Library shelfmark c29f16 reproduced in the BL Database of Bookbindings. In both cases the corner feuillage stamps are different but the central medallions appear to be identical to those on this binding. Similar but not identical stamps besides those cited in the sources below are found on: a copy of Mettayer’s 1586 Pseaultier de David recently offered by the Paris booksellers Laurent Coulet and Ariane Adeline in their catalogue “1586: Jamet Mettayer et les Confréries de Pénitents”; an Officium beatae Mariae Virginis Paris: apud Societatem Typographicum 1586 using both the Annunciation and Crucifixion medallions set within a fanfare design Bibliothèque Sainte Geneviève Réserve 8 Z 6685 INV 9940; and an Office de La Vierge published by Mettayer in 1586 BnF Réserve B. 1654 Lacombe 486. A book of hours for the use of Amiens Paris: for Guillaume de La Noue 1589 bound with several devotional tracts BnF Réserve B-27949; Lacombe 492 has a different Annunciation stamp but apparently the same Crucifixion stamp. Coulet and Adeline established a typology of 9 different Crucifixion stamps or 8 stamps and one variant the one used here being no. 8. Given these facts the possibility cannot be excluded that the publishers were involved in commissioning the bindings of this copy and of the other “Crucifixion medallion” bindings found on their imprints.

The maltese crosses pilcros paragraph marks and Vx and Rx signs are printed in red and the capitals are rubricated throughout. The main text is set in a rotunda gothic type 66 mm/20 lines and the Canon n5r-o2v and the first line of the title in a textura gothic 112 mm/20 lines. The woodcut crucifixion on n4v facing the opening of the Canon Kervers device and the criblée initials are all coloured by a contemporary hand. The rare first missal for the Roman rite to be printed or published by the great Paris printing and publishing family Kerver best known for their luxurious liturgical and devotional printing especially their books of hours. There appears to be no copy in any French library. Kervers first missal in 1501 was made for the Paris rite. Kervers early missals including the present one are extremely rare the USTC recording no more than five copies of any edition printed before 1520. Caerr p. 73 notes that Kervers present first publishers device is universally recognised as a master-piece. It has been suggested that Kervers criblée blocks were metal cuts rather than woodcuts. The crucifixion scene facing the opening of the Canon is a more traditional woodcut. Caerr p. 51 suggests Kerver reached the pinnacle of his success in his stylistic evolution in or around 1506 fully incorporating Renaissance tastes in the period 1505-1514 and perfecting the criblée technique used for his present publishers device and initials. The present edition is also a very early example of the use of abstract typographic ornaments. The preliminaries include a calendar of feast days and most of its less common Saints days printed in red suggest a Franciscan connection.Thielman Kerver Koblenz ca. 1460/70-Paris 1522 appears in Paris imprints as a bookseller and publisher working with various printers and co-publishers from 1497 beginning with books of hours which always remained his greatest speciality. He added his own printing office in 1498 though he continued to work with others and expanded into a wide variety of genres. He also added other kinds of liturgical books including breviaries from 1499 a psalter in 1500/01 and missals from 1501 apparently publishing about 16 missals to his death in 1522 first using the present form of the title in the present edition. He was sworn in as official bookseller to the University in Paris in 1501 and soon after also printer hence the In alma Parisiorum Academia in the present title and colophon. Kervers widow continued the firm from 1522 to her death in 1557 their son Jacques continued it to his death in 1583 and its materials were sold in 1586.The fact that both the wording of the title and the exact date differ between the title page and the colophon the latter is 40 days later has led nearly every reference work from Weale in 1886 to the present USTC to turn one 1506 edition into two most describing a folio edition by Kerver a ghost and an anonymous 8vo edition supposedly with no copy known. David Shaw provided an accurate description on-line based on the British Library copy.With an inscription in the head margin of the title page partly shaved and difficult to read; the engraved publishers device of the Antwerp printer and publisher Jean Baptiste III Verdussen 1698-1773 on the front and back pastedown serving as his bookplate see above. Also with an 1831 owners inscription of S. De Ram on a free endleaf facing the title page. The rubricator or an early owner has added several notes in red in the calendar. Further with an occasional early marginal manuscript note some shaved. Four words in the Canon have been deliberately erased as an editorial revision. With an 8 cm tear into one leaf the running heads of a few others shaved the title-page slightly soiled a 3 mm hole in leaf 232 E4 affecting 2 or 3 words some tiny marginal wormholes in a few leaves and some water stains in the endpapers otherwise in very good condition. The binding shows a few small defects one slightly affecting the gold lettering on the front board but is also generally very good. A rare and beautifully produced missal and the second major display of Kervers stunning criblée initials all coloured by a contemporary hand as are the woodcut and Kerver's device.l Thierry Caerr Imprimerie et réussite sociale à Paris .: Thielman Kerver . 2000 2 vols. www.enssib.fr/bibliotheque-numerique 117 4 copies erroneously described as a folio; Catalogue . bibliothèque de feu .
