The Laval parts (Valleguidonensis) have been published by A. Mary-Beauchene in Laval (1884); and printed by Mame in Tours. The head work is entirely printed in red & black, each page within a red typobraphical borderline. [Binding]. Uniformy bound in full red morocco, raised spines with gilt titles, all edges gilt, Gilt fillet on the board edges, Both covers with the supra libro of bishop Victor Maréchal with his motto ''Vita et Spes''. A splendid set, perfectly preserved. [Provenance]. From a calligraphed entry on the half-title of the first part we learn that the ''Breviarium'' was presented by the priests of the ''Canton de Montfort L'Amaury'' which was a part of the diocese of Versailles. This occured most probably on the occasion of the ordination of Victor Maréchal as bishop of the diocese of Laval; in Versailles on 25 july 1887. The unfortunate bishop however died within less than 2 months of his ordination (died 21 september 1887). He probably hardly ever touched his breviarium gift. Two further Latin notes reveal that the book was received by Aug. Maria Batard, priest in Laval who donated the work in 1917 to the monastary of Saint Julian in Chateau Gonthier. A third note states that the work belonged afterwards to Mother Superior of the nunnery of ''Misericorda Iesu'' in the monatary's hospital. (For the supra libro; see Aymond de Saint-Saud : ''Armorial des prélats français du XIX siècle''.) A beautifull and finely preserved example of an expensive liturgical book of the 19th c. Roman Catholic Church. It demonstrates, in a way, the resurgence of the French Church after the devastating blow of the French Revolution."‎

Seven of the full-page woodcuts are signed ""I.A."", ""z.a."" and ""L.A."" respectively. ‎

‎Exceedingly scarce - possibly the only copy known -, splendid and beautifully printed, exquisite and richly illustrated breviary of the Roman Rite, printed in Venice, by a woman. The printer Pietro Ravani (named in the colophon) was a native of Brescia. Little is known of him, and his name is usually associated with that of Melchior Sessa, with whom he formed partnership from 1516 until December 1525. Their work was strongly oriented towards religious texts and works dedicated to the world of schools. When he died in 1531, the business was left to his wife Luchina Ravani, who administered it with their son Vittore, until 1540 or 1541. This was not an unusual constellation, but in far most cases, the widows had nothing or very little actively to do with the business they inherited/officially administered. In the case of Luchina Ravani, this is different. We know for a fact that she was actually actively involved in the printing of the books during this period and was a printer in her own right. “Financial considerations often forced a printer’s widow to take over the business, as the death of a husband plunged many widows into poverty. These women would often work until their sons came of age, but in the case of Luchina Ravani, she apparently continued working even after her son took over. The State Archive in Venice holds two documents stating that Luchina was free to run “a suo conto la stamperia.” This indicates that the widow held an important position in the business and possibily had some kind of agency in deciding what to print, like the beautiful Libro del Cortegiano in the Castiglione Collection. However, despite her active role, her name is never explicitly mentioned on any edition. Only her son’s name, Vittore, appears on the titlepages or the colophons, followed by a simple and anonimous “& Co.”. “ (Erika Delbecque: Women in the Italian Book Trade, 2021). The Ravani printer’s mark is the two-tailed mermaid. This presumably comes from the location of the shop, which had the two-tailed mermaid on the façade and was known as the bookshop of the mermaid. “The Venetian shop of the Mermaid was managed throughout almost all the sixteenth century by a series of bookmen from Brescia: Pietro Ravani, the Paganinis, and Giovanni Varisco and his descendants.” (Angela Nuovo: The Book Trade in the Italian Renaissance, 2013, pp. 8-9). The illustration of the other woodcut on the title-page, ""Veronica's Veil"", would have been found in the home of the common man for use in prayer. The idea is related to the use by the wealthy of more expensive paintings or manuscript illustrations. The numerous illustrations in this beautiful breviary are splendid. Several of the small ones are signed (S.M." S. L. and S. P.) and nine of the full-page ones are signed I.A., z.a., and L.A. respectively. These woodcut masters are among the most famous of the Renaissance woodcutters. I.A. is presumably the master of the woodcuts formerly attributed to Andreas Zoan, the master who collaborated with N. on the woodcuts for the 1497 Ovid. According to Kristeller “one has without reason interpreted “ia” as Andrea Zoan” (translated from German. Kristeller p. 139). z.a. is the monogram for the renowned Adrea Zoan (referred to above). Under the same monogram, he made the splendid woodcuts for eg. Petrarca’s Trionfi from 1500 and onwards, the exquisite illustrations for Stagnino’s Dante from 1512, Dürer’s Apokalypse 1515-16, etc.. See Kristeller pp. 145-46 for further details. L.A. is the monogram for the great Lucantonio de’ Uberti, who was responsible for having brought the strongly hatched Venetian style woodengravings from the beginning of the 16th century to Florence. His full name is known from the arithmetic book for merchants, the “Libro d’abacco” printed in Venice in 1520, where his name is mentioned on the last leaf. “This Lucantonio is without doubt also the executor of the numerous woodcuts and engravings signed “LA” that without reason have been attributed to the great printing master Lucantonio Giunta.” (Kristeller p. 164 – translated from German). Lucantonio Uberti originally came from Florence and seems to have come to Venice around 1500. In 1503-4 he printed some books in Verona, in which he called himself “Lucantonius Florentinus”. After that he seems to have been active in Venice as printer, woodcutter and engraver. Later, he returned to Florence and brought with him the Venetian woodcutting technique that he introduced there. See Kristeller pp. 164-6ff. for more on Lucantonio de’ Uberti. Early printed Breviaries were locally distributed and quickly worn out by daily use. As a result, surviving copies are rare of those editions which survive at all, many are known in only very few copies. This magnificent Breviary is of the utmost scarcity. We have not been able to locate a single copy of it anywhere. We have not been able to find it registered in any bibliography, we have not been able to find a single copy listed on OCLC, and we have not been able to trace any copy at auction ever.

This ''Breviarium'' decorated with the coat of arms of Pope Pius IX belonged certainly to the series of liturgical books intended to be presented by the pope to important visitors. Pope Pius IX ( Giovanni Mastai-Ferretti 1792 - 1878) is regarded as the longest reigning pope in history (from 1846 till 1878). During his reign the Vatican lost his worldly powers. He tried to contain the damage done to the Church by the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. For this purpose he declared e.g. the infallibility of the pope, the immaculate conception of Mary...‎

A rare complete set of a late 18th century liturgical edition by the Antwerp Plantin Press, illustrated with full page copperengravings, printed throughout in red and black, with vignettes and tailends printed either in red or black from woodengravings. The breviary was one of the most important liturgical books in the Roman catholic church. These in-4° editions served for the daily readings by the religious communities. Because of this daily manipulating and the rather regularly changings of the texts, which led to the discarting of outdated versions; complete and good copies of pre-1800 breviaries are very rare,even more so in a luxury binding."‎
