188550230Paris: Libreria del Garnier Hermanos 1885. Hardcover. 24mo. Full black limp calf with gilt spine lettering and rules. 764pp. Frontispiece 5 full-page plates marbled endpapers. Very good. Mild edgewear only else tight and internally near fine. Attractive sixth edition of this handbook for the Roman Catholic Sacred Heart of Jesus order entirely in Spanish and created specifically for members in Peru and Equador instructing on all aspects of rituals liturgical responses plus a very full church calendar. Upper left of front board bears giltstamped ownership name of Sr. Imelda Teresa. Born Susie Forrest Swift in 1862 this Vassar College graduate became a devout Salvation Army convert and editor of their international organ "All the World" in London and New York to which she contributed much literary work and became the first female S.A. officer to attain the rank of major; in 1896 she converted to Roman Catholicism and became a Dominican novitiate -- Sister M. Imelda Teresa -- directing a Dominican college in Havana Cuba and master of novices in New York Rhode Island and Wisconsin where she died in 1916 at age 54. Non-authorial gift inscription on inner flyleaf presents this copy "To dear Sister Imelda / Teresa in loving remem- / brance from / Maria Luisa Tonarely / Vedado 24 October 1902." Of interest is a rear inner flyleaf on which Sister Imelda records eleven lines each a trip to or from "Returned" and "Went" locations at which she is known to have worked with dates ranging from September 1900 to February 1913 -- cities noted are Havana Albany Philadelphia Saratoga and Sinsinawa Wisconsin. She served as master of novices in each of these places and here is a unique firsthand record of her comings and goings in her own hand. Also intriguing is that the Religiosas del Apostolado del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús "Religious of the Apostolate of the Sacred Heart of Jesus" a Catholic religious congregation for women was officially founded in Havana Cuba in 1891 -- but apparently they existed in some form prior to that as this 1885 text attests. Vedado from where the gift inscription was written is a district in Havana placing this copy at the epicenter of this order; possibly Sister Imelda was present at its inception.
