Susannae Virg. et Mart. (engraved title)(1676); S. Raymundi Nonnati (1669); S. Nonnosi Abbatis (engraving)(1675); Nominis Beatissimae Virginis Mariae (n.d.); S. Thomae de Villanova (engraved title device)(1659); S. VVenceslai, Ducis, et Martyris (n.d.); S. Edvardi Confessoris (n.d.); S. Hedvigis, Vidvae, Reginae Poloniae (n.d.); Sancti Petri de Alcantara (n.d.); S. Elisabeth, Vidvae (1670); S. Felicis de Valois (n.d.)(some small areas of loss); S. Francisci Xaverii Societas Iesu (1663). Bound in later full black morocco with hinging fore-edge clasps (one hinging portion remains), rubbed, and with small points of wear to boards, and to rear head of spine. Sewn endbands. Speckled edges. Plain end-papers, with ownership marks to front, and handwritten table of contents to rear endpapers. Browning to front and rear leaves of text-block. Still a tight copy. Some texts printed in red & black. Several titular engravings, as well as devices, and some initials. This collection of certain feast-day offices probably served as a monastic accompaniment to an edition of the Divine Office. A neat example of a unique supplementary volume. 72 leaves.
