" Antverpiae, (Antwerpen), Ex Officina Christophori Plantini, 1574, in-folio, 32 x 21,5 cm. 6 parts with a total of 718 pp. Voet n° 1685. Collation *4, **-****8, A-S8, T4, V6, Aa-Gg8, a-k8, l4, AA-GG8, +-++4, +++2. Collation against Voet reveals that this copy is complete but for 6 leaves . The missing leaves are: A1 (pp1-2) ; B4-5 (pp. 23-26) ;T4 (canon plate) ; V5-V6 (pp 305-308). Condition description: title with thumbing and a hole repaired (no loss of text), Corner of leaf C7 missing, text replaced in manuscript . Contemporary notes in the margin of e.g. leaf ****3 made illegible. Leaves V1-4 (canon part) with traces of use and thumbing (heavy on pp. 304), some pages of the canon part mounted. Apart from these defects, on the whole still a good copy. The book has been rebound in full calf (end 19th-beginning 20th c. ?). Title label on decorated spine.. Entirely printed in red & black, in two colums, with many woodcut illustrations (some full page) by e.g. M. Hemskerck, P. Galle, Pieter van der Borcht, and cutters Antoon van Leest, Arnold Nicolai, Cornelis Muller. Very few 16th c. missals have survived. They were in daily use for celebrating the Romam Catholic mass (hence the worn pages of the canon part). Most of these books were either removed when completely worn, or put out of use when liturgy changed. When Voet compiled his bibliograpy he could trace two copies of this edition (one in his museum in Antwerp , the other in Munich Bayerische Staatsbibliotheek). The last 30 year another 5 copies have come alight - thanks to Internet. (Pettegree n° 10780 - USTC 406072). Approx. 400 copies were printed, most of these were shipped to Spain. This missal was also printed with copper engravings instead of woodcuts. Allthough ca. 1200 copies were printed with copper engravings not one copy survived."
