Missal of altar issued from the liturgical reform of Pius X (1835-1914). After the decree Divino afflatu (1911) and the motu proprio Abhinc duos annos (23 October 1913), which give precedence to Sunday and ease the sanctoral, this edition precedes the typical edition promulgated in 1920 by Benedict XV (1854-1922). It leaves the presses of the Société de Saint-Jean l’Évangéliste, founded in Tournais in 1872 by Henri (1830-1917) and Jules Desclée (1833-1911) to restore Christian art in the liturgical book. The house was printer to the Holy See and to the Congregation of Rites.

The frontispiece title is chromolithographed and gilded. It shows the Mass of Saint Gregory: the pope, kneeling at the altar between two deacons bearing torches, sees Christ appear showing His wounds in a mandorla. Angels bearing the instruments of the Passion surround him. The title is in Gothic in a cartouche, with the date 1913 at the bottom.

The text is in red and black in two columns, with red borders. The proper diocese of Bayeux is bound to the following. It appears under the episcopate of Mgr Thomas-Paul-Henri Lemonnier (1853-1927), bishop of Bayeux and Lisieux.

Condition: binding worn, scratches and epidermures on the covers, one spine split and protruding, worn corners, several inserted leaves, minor defects.
