1896AQ28784Mechliniae i.s. Mechelen: H. Dessain 1896. xli 502 60 24pp 2. With a half tile. Printed in red and black. Elaborately bound in contemporary richly gilt-tooled red morocco device of seated christ proffering book with Greek letters alpha and omega within ornate border to both boards A.E.G. with eight divisional red moire cloth tabs one partially perished gilt dentelles decorated endpapers. Slightest of rubbing to extremities. Internally immaculate. An exquisitely bound late nineteenth-century Continental edition of the Roman Missal. 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

Set in 3 sizes of Old Slavonic poluustav cyrillic type. Printed on laid paper with a blue-green cast. A Russian Orthodox service book for Easter and the week following it in the Old Church Slavonic language printed published and bound at the Pechersk Lavra Monastery of the Caves in Kiev. The monastery was established in the 11th century. After the fall of Constantinople in 1453 the Orthodox Churches in Russia and Ukraine developed independently. The power of the Czars allowed the Russian Orthodox Church to dominate so that the Ukrainian Church came under the Moscow Patriarchate in 1686. The Monastery of the Caves is therefore now Ukrainian Orthodox but fell under the authority of the Russian Orthodox Church when the present service book was published. It nevertheless had its own traditions and rites so that the present book should be regarded as part of the Ukrainian heritage.The only other copy we have located is at Amsterdam University Library one of three Easter service books by the Kiev Pechersk Lavra recorded on WorldCat all octavos. With a lengthy cyrillic inscription on an endleaf. The sewing is somewhat loose and as a result a few leaves are tattered at the edges. There are occasional minor smudges and drops of candle wax. Much of the gold-tooling has rubbed off the binding and the spine is slightly damaged. In spite of these minor defects the book is in good condition especially for a book of this nature.l For the Kiev bindery: S. A.
