Venice: Luc'Antonio Giunta, 1513.
First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition. Item #047490
Old plain boards, added endpapers with modern owner signature, title penned to spine. Binding worn, text block split in a number of places and nearly loose in the binding. Signature B detached. With a dampstain on the lower right through much of the volume, clean in the center, marginal browning, last few leaves with loss to upper right just touching the text on the final leaf. Contemporary marginal notes on two leaves. Complete with 184 numbered leaves and still very good overall, pervasive minor flaws notwithstanding. Mortimer Italian Books 401. Not in Adams. 10 copies in OCLC, 4 in the US.
A lovely and finely printed processional with a number of woodcuts, two reused from Giunta's 1494 Dominican processional (the procession on A4 verso and the entry into Jerusalem on B1 recto). Mortimer notes that it is for Augustinian use rather than Roman.
