Mechliniae (Mechelen), H. Dessain, successor P.J. Hanicq, for the Sacra Congregatio de Propaganda Fide, 1855 in-folio, (39,5 x 26,8 cm) 42 nn pp including title, lithographic front. and fullpage woodcut (Brown-Lies) + 514 pp + clv pp + 2 pp (Pro Soc. Iesu) + 40 pp (Missae Propriae Sanctorum Belgii) with 10 full page wood engravings (engraver T. Brown), All pages printed in red and black and within typographicals fillets. With pages of music scores. Missal has been in use up till the 1920's. Proof of that are some additions of 1927 which have been inserted. Notwithstanding some very sparse foxing spots ,some offsetting of the inserted leaves and some damaged or missing tabs (bookmarks) still a very good copy . BINDING Bound in contemporary deep red velvet over wooden boards. Both covers decorated with large embossed silver roccoco ornaments, including silver border with corner pieces and 8 bosses. The frontal central cartouche figures Saint Vincentius à Paolo with the baby child Jesus. The cartouche at the back represents Mary queen of heaven with child. Both cartouches , as the two clasps , have the hallmark of master silversmith Auguste Joseph Gavier (Courtrai- Flanders 1814 - 1863). Endpapers in white satin, ,All edges gilt. Apart from a small loss of velvet at the tail cap the binding is excellently preserved, not in the least due to the good functioning of the well designed eight bosses. Fine example of a silver altar missal, in fine condition with hardly any traces of use, which is rare because these missals were in daily use during mass service in the Roman Catholic church. This missal can be considered as a sumptous highlight of the Roman Catholic church litugical books, a church which had regained strenght after the debacle of the French Revolution .
