Specialist Notes
Splendid 19th century liturgy book which contains the various religious services of the Catholic rite on Sundays and public holidays of the year. While other 19th-century works on Catholic rites are available, few are as desirable as this edition by Englemann, especially for the charming engravings in the style of Albrecht Durer, the fine frames that adorn the text, and the artistic binding.
