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."

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...

(Tail turn-in of one volume slightly torn, one vol. very slightly loose in binding, some slight soiling and thumbingat a few pages but still a nice and impressive set in a contemporary luxury binding). 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."
