AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
DESCRIPTION: I present at auction a magnificent and expansive set of 23 precious devotionals, missals, catechisms, and liturgical manuals from the 19th and 20th centuries, published, among other things, by renowned classical pontifical publishers such as Mame et Fils, Desclée, Lethielleux, or Casterman. A careful representation of religious printing from the 19th and 20th centuries, ideal for collectors, liturgy scholars, and popular piety enthusiasts, and believers in general.
Of the 23 books, 6 are from the 19th century and the rest from the 20th century. The oldest is from 1840 and the most modern from 1965. Most of the 20th-century items are early-20th century. There are only 4 post-World War II: a couple from the 1950s and a couple from the 1960s, the most modern being 1965.
Of the 23 books, 22 are in French and 1 in Italian. The French-language books are mainly edited in France, a few in Belgium, and one in Switzerland. The Italian book, in magnificent condition, was published in 1941, in the midst of World War II and during Mussolini's regime.
