12mo. Original flexible leather covers. 182,(ii)pp., but see below. Title page printed in red and black. Gives the proper offices for the local celebrations of the Diocese of Monterey-Los Angeles, including the special office of St Patrick, the co-patron in Los Angeles; St Emydius; Our Lady of Guadalupe; and several other saints. Regrettably lackting pp. 58-69, which constitute the special offices for St Vibiana, the main patroness of the Diocese in Los Angeles and after whom the Cathedral was named until recently. The missing pages end with the Oratio for St Emigdius (Emydius) on August 9 and pick up with the 3rd day of the Octave of St Vibiana, the Third Nocturn. The missing pages were likely removed intentionally and placed into a breviary for ease of use. Pp. 49-54 are present but loose; top of leather spine lacking, general wear. A scarce survival of what once was. Sold w.a.f.

12mo. iv, 190pp. Remnants of full calf binding. Mostly in Latin with a section of the appendices in English. There are only two leather remnants of the original binding left on the boards, but enough to confirm a simple binding with a blind rule around the edges. The spine has perished completely leaving the sewing exposed, and with the boards hanging on only by worn cords. The ffep is gone, but the rfep is present. Given its history, no attempt has been made to stabilize or repair the binding; instead it has been housed in a custom clamshell case to protect it in the condition is has come down to us. A survival of the Catholic Mission to Scotland. With the Scottish Reformation, the old Catholic hierarchy of Scotland ended with the death of the Archbishop of Glasgow in 1603. Thereafter the Roman Church designated Scotland a Missionary Territory. Catholics went underground and those caught practicing the Old Religion were imprisoned or killed. Catholic rituals such as this one were destroyed. It is no wonder that the sources are unsure of the place of printing or the name of the publisher and only guess at Edinburgh. Nor is it a surprise to find the book small enough to be concealed easily on one's person. It is well used, and a very scarce survival of a difficult period. The Catholic Scottish hierarchy was not restored until 1878 when conditions had changed sufficiently to allow it. Only one copy listed in OCLC; another edition, printed in London in the same year, has also only a single listing. ESTC T202694. Truly rare.

12mo. (10),784pp. Contemporary full calf. Spine in six compartments with raised bands; ornately gill. A very good copy in a lovely contemporary binding. The author, Jean Croiset (1656-1738) was for a long time rector at the Jesuit novitiate of Avignon, where he became famous as a director of consciences. The volume is one of twelve published at different times from 1712- 1720, one for each month of the year, and so this would constitute the third volumes in the series. Croiset is regarded as one of the great masters of the spiritual life. These meditations proved quite popular and were many times reprinted.

In spite of its quirky and sloppy pagination it is complete. Text in two columns with marginal notes. The final 8 pages are the index. "Escrita por el Rmo. P. Maestro Fray Ioseph de Almonazaia." Pp. 612ff consist of texts of the canonization papers, in Latin with a translation into Spanish. Rebound to style in quarter vellum, with marbled paper boards, plain undecorated spine. The title page is rubbed and mounted but complete. Several pages have been neatly remargined or silked, the corner of leaf V1 has had a corner replaced with slight loss, and the last leaf of the index, leaf fff8, has a defective bottom corner with loss of a few lines. The textblock has a light dampstain throughout. Still a very good copy of an extremely rare work on the life of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1091?-1153). Woodcut initials and tailpieces, and a large woodcut coat of arms on the dedication page. And contemporary ink inscription at the end of the preliminary matter, some of it stricken through, the rest reading: "Carmelita Calzad.; Librería del Carmen Calzado de Toledo". Palau 8184. In Spanish except for the Canonization material, which is in both Latin and Spanish.
