About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This Roman Antiphonary from 1864 is a remarkable historical document, reflecting 19th-century liturgical practices. Published in Paris by the Librairie d'Adrien Le Clere et Cie, it was commissioned by Pope Paul V and supplemented for use in the Diocese of Dijon.
The book is distinguished by its period binding and printed pages of Gregorian chants, with traditional musical notation on four-line staves. The Latin texts are accompanied by illuminated initials and typographical ornaments characteristic of religious publishing of this period. The interior pages also reveal handwritten additions and pencil drawings, including sketches of soldiers, adding a unique personal and historical dimension to this copy.
This antique book bears the marks of its history and use over the decades. It retains its overall structural integrity, although the cover and pages betray its venerable age.
Ideal for collectors of antique religious books or history enthusiasts, this book finds its place in a traditional library or as a curiosity in an eclectic interior. It brings a touch of authenticity and mystery to any space dedicated to reading or contemplation. Dimensions: Height 47 cm, Width 32 cm, Thickness 11.5 cm. Please note some torn pages, a few patches of tape, and writing. All pages are present.
805 pages plus table of contents plus supplement for the use of the Diocese of Dijon. See photos.
