    Description

    Early Edition, Illustrated, Pleasing Copy, Rebound

    In the original Latin. The Roman Pontifical contains the rites of Bishops and is a Catholic liturgical book. Under Clement VIII (1536-1605) a standard version of this work was issued for the use of the entire Roman Rite, for the first time. Therefore, this is an early edition of this text. This work is in red and black, across two columns per page. There are several psalms, to which is printed the sheet music. In a lovely condition. Has been rebound without the endpapers.

    Condition

    Rebound in a full calf binding. Externally, generally smart. Damp staining to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Prior owner's contemporary inscription to the head of title page. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are slightly cockled. Pages are bright. Small worm hole to pages 70-236 only affecting the margin.

    Very Good
