About This Item
Paris:: Jacques Collombat [for His Majesty],, 1741.. Nouvelle Edition.. Hardcover.. Red morocco with the supralibros of Louis XV, rubbed, defaced to both covers at center, floral gilt decorate borders to all edges and spine, corners, edges and spine rubbed and worn, no hinge affect, holding fine, marbled endpapers. Previous owner notes in French to first blank. Few small dog-ear corners and few light dampstains at top edge, else text is mostly clean and crisp. Text in two columns, in French & Latin. It would appear that the arms of Louix XV have been defaced to this binding. Elsewhere these books printed for Louis XV fetch much higher prices, due to the rubbing (defacing) of the binding, we have priced this to go. A chance to own a piece of history for a fraction of the cost. With engraved frontispiece, extra engraved title page, and four engraved-printed titles [Ordinaire De La Messe, Office Du Jeudy Saint, Office du Vendredy Saint, and Office Du Dimanche De Paques, ]. Few illustrated vignettes, and decorative initials. This edition of Semaine Saint is dedicated to King Louis XV of France and the binding bears his coat of arms. Office de la Semaine Sainte is a liturgical text to be used during the Christian celebration of Holy Week (the week before Easter and last part of Lent). Book also includes instructions for personal prayer and reflection.
