Description from the seller
OFFICIA SANCTORUM
Officia Sanctorum, in Breviario Romano ex mandato Summorum Pontificum apponenda, & de praecepto, recitanda...
Matriti [Madrid], Ex Typographia Divini Officii apud Antonium Marin, Anno M.DCC.XLII [1742].
1 volume in-8 (environ 19 x 13 cm), splendidly bound in full red morocco of the period, with richly decorated boards featuring a large central lozenge design and dentelled roulettes in small gilded tooling (fanfares or broken lace style), spine with richly flowered nerves, gilded edges.
Title page printed in red and black, framed by a rich typographic border and adorned with a wood-engraved vignette representing the papal insignia (the keys of Saint Peter and the tiara) on a landscape background. The work also contains an ancient handwritten ex-libris by the hand of a proprietor or Spanish prelate on the title page.

Exceptional preservation of the red morocco binding with sumptuous gilded decorations, showing only very light wear at the corners and headpieces. Interior of great freshness, printing in red and black very sharp, clean laid paper.
Superb copy.
