Exercicio quotidiano, con diferentes Oraciones, y devociones (sacadas de varios Autores) para antes y despues de la Confesión, y Sagrada Comunión. Se ha añadido en esta última impresión el Exercicio Christiano, Oraciones para el Santo Sacrificio de la Mis, 1761. Madrid. Oficina de Manuel Martín.Eighteenth century Spanish artistic binding, presumably by Sancha.
Extraordinary Spanish artistic binding almost surely made by Antonio de Sancha, Royal binder, of remarkable rarity. The French style of the binding is only to be expected, as Sancha studied in Paris (1755) the art of binding. Our binding was probably made c.1762-1765, it contains the Exercicio quotidiano, a series of orations for the day.8vo, (150 x 100 mm). 15 ff., 315 pp. Eighteenth century artistic Spanish binding presumably made by printer and binder Antonio de Sancha in red morocco, boards with intricate gilt fillets, inlays of green morocco with mosaic leafy patterns, painting of the Cross of Santiago at center, mica inlays, pointille, raised bands to spine, silk linings, edges gilt; one protective film to Cross starting, some minimal worn, else fine. A fine copy, generally perfectly preserved.
Provenance: engraved armorial bookplate of the 18th century.
