Bound in its original gorgeous tooled leather binding, this is a 17th Century folioMissal, printed by the famed printing firm the Giuntas, in a rare contemporary binding of full leather with elaborately tooled borders, patterns and designs, the covers with a central IHS logo, the spine with plain raised bands and two clasps, both present although one is functional. There are a few splits and leather losses at the crown of the spine and along the boards with scars, rubbing, exposure and the like; the joints and hinges stressed but intact. Page edges black. Paginates complete with additional two sections at rear with separate title pages; all printed in red and black, with multiple fine full page engravings, in text scenes, historiated borders and initials, music and more; a few crudely hand colored. Rare section in the rear for exorcism and dealing with demons, an interesting addition. A few stains, closed tears, soiling, chips, manuscript edge repairs, small losses and expected wear, as exemplified in the pics. Measures 14\" x 10\" x 3\". A magnificent example of a Giuntas Bros. printed 17th century Italian liturgical printing, housed in a worn yet rare tooled binding. Good
