Kerver’s first Roman Missal. Octavo. Printed in red and black. Engraved printer’s device, and a large engraving of the crucifixion opposite the opening of the canon. Bound in early black goatskin, blind rules to covers, wanting its clasps. All edges gilt and gauffered. The first six blank leaves of the volume have the Praeparatio ad Missam written in manuscript, and three blank leaves at the rear have masses for the feasts of Benedict, Robert of Molesme and Peter Celestine in manuscript.
A very good example of this rare missal, some worming to covers, title page with repairs to margins, occasional staining internally. Ink spill to folios 51v and 52r.
An attractive example of this rare post-incunable printed Roman missal.
