Beschreibung

152,12 ff. 2 parts in 1. Tall folio in leather, some repairs at the edges, rebacked with 5 raised bands, gilt in the compartments and brown morocco label, renewed endpapers. Text in red and black throughout, text In Gothic type, running titles in Roman. Giunta lily in red on the title and in black on the colophon. Some 100 woodcuts (some repeats) throughout, including 7 double page woodcuts showing the Crucifixion with facing 10-panel historical border Illustrating the important parts of the Christ story from the Annunciation to Christ emerging from the grave. Music has 4 red lines with the clefs and square notes on stems in black. The full page plate of the Crucifiction, placed at the beginning of the Canon, starting with "Te Igitur. " is particularly striking: This illustration depicts three emotional spectators at the foot of the Crucifixion. The artist has taken great detail to the muscularity of Christ, who wears a cincture around his waist. His face is drawn but shows no agony; his head is bent and his eyes are open. The Virgin Mary wears the veil, and holds a cloth to her face as if weeping. The woman on the ground passionately grips the Cross; her mouth is twisted in a wail. Her left hand reaches almost to the foot of Christ. This could only be Mary Magdalene, both penitent in her posture and anguished in her love and devotion to Jesus. The third figure is the Apostle John, who is depicted as a young man without a beard. [La Salle University Rare Book Collection] Condition of this Glorious Mass for the Ordination of Bishops is very good. Title page a little grubby, a few old repaired worm tracks, some contemporary marginalia and, in fact, the writer was following the liturgy closely and makes an occasional correction to the work. Occasional errors in pagination (corrected in ink) , an occasional small stain, one small ink blot obscures a word. The second shorter section is in Roman and Italic type. The last leaf has old repairs and has been remounted with slight loss to the colophon. Published by the Giunta heirs ("In officina haeredum Lucaeantonii Iunctae") in the wake of the Council of Trent. Although designed to give a medieval look, there is no doubt that this beautifully printed and illustrated missal is a superb example of Renaissance book arts, especially as produced at the great Venetian publishing house of Lucantonio Giunta.
