Superb Roman breviary drawn up as part of the reformation of the Holy Council of Trent, printed by order of Pope Pius V, revised and corrected by Clement VIII and Urban VIII. The set consists of 2 volumes, one dedicated to Spring, the other to Autumn. Each volume presents the offices of the newly canonized saints, psalms, responses and antiphons. The present copy was for the private use of the Soeur de St Gervais de St Amans, as indicated by an inscription dated 1766 on the false title. A pleasant copy of this precious Roman breviary.
