A SPLENDID EXAMPLE OF PRINTING ON VELLUM:

692 GRADUALE ROMANUM de TEMPORE et SANCTIS [Typis maximis et Cantus Gregoriani Notis illustratum]; printed throughout upon Vellum, in red and black, the musical Notation very large on five lines; the handsome engraved title, frontispiece, and large initials partly coloured, at the first page beginning the Psalm Ad te levavi' a large historiated 'A' in gold and colours, representing David playing on the Harp, folio (19 × 11 inches), in the original oaken boards covered with stamped leather, held together by two leathern straps fastened by a brass boss (VERY RARE, AND IN SPLENDID CONDITION), £52. 10s Antwerpice ex OFF. PLANTINIANA apud Joannem Moretum, 1599 This grand old Choir Book appears to have been printed for the use of the Jesuit College of St. Bertin at St. Omer's, having first undergone a rigorous revision.

The present is one of the finest of the productions which will always cause PLANTIN to be considered a great benefactor to literature. The liberality and magnificence with which he conducted his profession inspired a rivalry with it in others, and the many learned men whom he retained in his service rendered the productions of his press as accurate as beautiful.

This edition is without date; but at back of the title is an Almanack for 14 years from 1516 to 1530.

The above copy is apparently deficient in 3 leaves, and 2 leaves have been slightly repaired, otherwise it is in very good condition.
