Publisher: Ex. Typographia Balleoniana, Venetiis (Venice), 1757.  Recently rebound in full red leather with gilt titles and decorations on the spine, and gilt decorations on both boards.  Marbled endpapers.  Text in Latin.

A very handsome quarto sized Missal, with an engraved title page and three other full-page engravings, all signed Orsolini.  Also several engraved endpieces. Rubricated throughout, with decorated initial letters, each with a tiny cityscape behind the letter.  Printed music in red and black.  Pages are close cropped with some loss to headings.  Also bound in are various other items dated 1774 to 1806.  The last of these consists of two handwritten pages, so neatly done as to be easily mistaken for printed, entitled “Missae Sanctorum, celebrandae in alquibus Locis’ and dated 1806.  Also loosely included is a sheet of paper handwritten in an 18^th century hand what appears to be a prayer in Latin.

Very good condition, with old repairs to 8 leaves, one being repaired with cloth tape, and occasional marks to pages.  Tightly bound.

Quarto, 31 cm, 12.25 inches, tall, xxxv prelims, 458 pages, pages numbered i to c, (1 to 100), plus 26 pages of additional material.
