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.

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

Printed in red and black throughout in 2 columns except for the preliminaries and Canon in 1 column with on the title page the first 1497 version of Kervers finely executed armorial device Renouard 499: a shield with T K above a mark with a cross supported by unicorns the shield hanging on a tree surrounded by many flowers 103 x 73 mm with a criblée background and with THIELMAN KERVER in a scroll in the foot; a crucifixion woodcut 120 x 82 mm; hundreds of impressions of at least 28 finely executed lombardic initials 4 series with decorations on a criblée background a 39 mm T with a crucifixion scene; two 28 mm: an R with a heron standing on one leg with an eel or snake in its mouth and an S with floral decorations; three 21 mm with floral and vine decoration; and at least twenty-two 13 mm with floral and vine decoration forming a complete 23-letter alphabet except for K X Y and Z plus alternate blocks for at least C O and S and a couple simple woodcut lombardic initials; as well as dozens of at least mostly 4-line spaces left for manuscript initials about half with printed guide letters filled in with manuscript lombardic initials in blue some with white or white and red decoration except for 3 lombardic initials in red; 3 sizes of cast lombardic initials 11 6 and 3 mm printed in red; a two-impression plainchant music type 10 mm 4-line staff in red with square-head notes and c-clef in black and two small typographic ornaments apparently designed for printing in red and black. 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.

Clementis VIII. & Urbani. VIII. aliorumque summorum pontificum. Antwerp ex architypographia Plantiniana = Joannes Jacobus Moretus 1737. Plantin edition of the revised Roman Missal produced in line with the Council of Trents directives. This imposing folio exemplifies the Tridentine tradition established after the council 1545-1563 when the Roman Church responding to the Reformation sought to standardise the liturgy. In 1570 Pope Pius V 1504-1572 promulgated the reformed Missale Romanum establishing the text and ceremonial form of the Mass that would govern the Latin Church for centuries. Subsequent revisions under Clemens VIII 1536-1605 and Urban VIII 1568-1644 refined but did not alter its essential structure.From 1571 until the mid-18th century the press founded by Christophe Plantin 1520-1589 held a significant monopoly on the production and sale of authorised liturgical work for the Spanish Netherlands and effectively much of the Spanish Empire. The present Missale Romanum has been bound together with the Missae propriae sanctorum Hispanorum 1737 a collection of masses for Spanish saints. It contains the specific texts and music intended for the celebration of these saints reflecting its use in Iberian or Spanish-influenced territories. The beautiful red morocco binding richly gilt in the rococo manner was also most likely bound in Spain or Portugal.The front joint is slightly weakened but the structural integrity of the work is still intact a hole at the head and foot of the spine the edges and corners of the boards are slightly scuffed the boards are somewhat stained lacking the clasps. The leaves are somewhat browned with occasional foxing a few pages retaining traces of yellow wax.

ST20214Northern France perhaps Beauvais or Amiens late 13th or early 14th century. 286 x 199 mm. 11 1/4 x 7 3/4". Double column containing a mixture of staves and text approximately 21 lines in an excellent formal gothic book hand. <br/> Attractively matted. Rubrics in red chant text containing black penwork initials with red and yellow geometric elaboration BEAUTIFULLY ILLUMINATED with five two-line initials painted blue or pink with white tracery on a ground in the contrasting color two of the initials filled with grotesques and swirling vines and two with the filler design traced out but never completed each initial with blue and pink extensions terminating in orange leaves or spiky shapes; the verso featuring AN IMPRESSIVE SIX-LINE "N" 58 x 50 mm. in the same style filled with an intricate knotwork design and orange leaves with long extensions including a horizontal extension across the upper margin. Margins with light offsetting of the designs from the facing leaf; remnants of mounting tape on recto corners and bottom edge; verso apparently with a barely visible Medieval "14" in lower margin. An area measuring 5 mm. at edges just faintly yellowed from mat burn but IN FINE CONDITION the vellum otherwise quite bright the paint rich and the gold brightly glittering.<br/> <br/> This sumptuously decorated leaf--which is beautifully preserved and contains a particularly large and handsome initial--comes from the last volume of a three-volume Missal presented to Beauvais Cathedral by Canon Robert de Hangest d. 1356. The Missal remained at the cathedral at least through the 17th century when it is noted in an inventory but was removed from the church at some point likely in the aftermath of the French Revolution. The parent volume eventually entered the collection of Henri-Auguste Brölemann 1775-1854 of Lyon who passed it to his grand-daughter Etienne Mallet who then sold it at Sotheby's in 1926. It was then acquired for the collection of William Hearst where it remained for the next 25 years. In 1941 it was again sold at auction and subsequently dismembered. Though long thought to have been the work of famed biblioclast Otto Ege recent scholarship suggests that it was actually Phillip Duschnes who was responsible for breaking up the book keeping some leaves for himself and selling others on to his colleague Ege for inclusion in his portfolios of "Fifty Original Leaves from Medieval Manuscripts." The Beauvais Missal has been a subject of interest for many notable scholars chief among them being Christopher de Hamel--see: "Otto Ege and the Beauvais Missal" in "Gilding the Lilly: A Hundred Medieval and Illuminated Manuscripts in the Lilly Library" and it is currently the focus of a major effort to "reconstruct" the manuscript digitally--a project spearheaded by Lisa Fagin Davis. Other leaves from the parent volume are in the collections of the Morgan Library the Metropolitan Museum of Art the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Houghton Library at Harvard among many others. Although there is some dispute among art historians the illumination has been tentatively attributed to the artist of the Hours of Yolande of Soissons produced in Amiens ca. 1280 and now held by the Morgan Library MS M.729. It is worth noting that the town of Hangest home to the original owner is only 10 miles from Amiens and is a likely place of origin for the Missal. The present leaf contains a text for a major feast day and thus contains a large and extravagantly decorated initial for its opening "'Nunc scio vere." It is not too much to say that the decoration here is masterful but curiously--and of special interest to us from a modern perspective--the illuminators seem to have forgotten to put the finishing touches on the two smaller initials above which still contain sketches of the preliminary design. unknown

Single column 31 lines text in two sizes in a gothic hand. <br/> Rubrics in red several one- and two-line initials in red and two larger initials in red. A few lines with neumes later notations in the margins now quite faded. ◆Vellum a bit soiled and creased as expected fading to four or five lines where the spine was placed several notches along one edge other imperfections due to its reuse as binding scrap but still an excellent specimen that is almost entirely legible.<br/> <br/> Written in a neat and attractive hand this sizable leaf from a Missal remains mostly quite legible with all its rubrication intact despite having been used as part of a binding. A few lines also show musical notation from the earliest generation of neumes. They are described as "in campo aperto" which means literally "in an open field" because they and they alone occupy the space or "field" above the text. They are also described as adiastematic because they appear in a straight line whereas later diastematic neumes reflect changes in pitch by being placed in a higher or lower vertical position above the text. At the time the present leaf was written out the neumes here simply served as an "aide memoire" to the singer who had already learned the melody orally. unknown

Just fantastic.</p><p><strong>Holy Week</strong> is for Christians the week before Easter and the last part of Lent . It is intended to commemorate the Passion of Christ. The Easter Triduum of the Passion and Resurrection of Christ begins on Thursday evening of this week and ends on the evening of Easter Sunday. These three days are the high point of the liturgical year because it was by his death that Christ destroyed death and it was by rising again that he restored life. Orthodox Christians call it <strong>Great Week . </strong>Romanian Orthodox Christians most often call it the <strong>Week of Sufferings</strong> . The services of Holy Week have the particularity of beginning with Compline and Matins and ending with Vespers whereas it is normally the Vespers service that begins the liturgical day. Holy Week consists of liturgical ceremonies that take place only once a year. The first of these is Palm Sunday .</p> Chez J Felix Faulcon. hardcover
