A pocket Paroissien in a charming binding with richly decorated edges.
The Paroissien, printed to help parishioners follow services, contains the text of the Mass in Latin with parallel translations into French; to this edition is added an illustrated Stations of the Cross. The unusual edge-decoration combines gilding, gauffering, and colouring to depict three roses in two colours, while the clasps show the Holy Nails arranged to form a cross.
