Bound in full contemporary leather with elaborately ornamented binding, bearing crosses to front and rear boards and a chalice-and-wafer motif to spine. Gilt monogram 'M.M.' to front board. Boards are lightly worn and marked, with minimal evidence of insect damage to tail of spine and upper left corner of front free endpaper. All edges of text block gilt.

The final six unnumbered pages include an index, also handwritten. The four printed illustrations bear the text: "Mater Dolorosa" (hand-colored), "Amor meus crucifixus est," "S. Wenzeslaus," and "S. Barbara." Shelved case 3. 1377520. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. Seller Inventory # 1377520
