[PALM SUNDAY.] - Office du Dimanche des Rameaux, Latin et Francois, a l'usage de Rome.

[S. I.] 1778. Large 8vo, 213 x 140 mms., pp. xl, 124, handsomely bound in full red morocco, gilt borders on cover, spine ornately gilt in compartments to a floral motif, olive morocco labels, all edges gilt, and with the arms of Louis-Philippe I, Duc d'Orleans (1725 - 1785) in the centre of both covers; corners a little worn, but a fine and attractive copy, with two small library stamps, a small circular one on the verso of the front free end-paper of the Seminary of Jaruini, and on the top margin of the title-page the stamp of Grof Szechenyi Miklos. The Roman Catholic Church had a liturgy for each day of the week for Palm Sunday. Louis Philippe d'Orléans was known as le Gros; a member of the House of Bourbon, he greatly increased the wealth of the House of Orleans, which not exactly strapped for cash in any case. He married his cousin, Louise Henriette de Bourbon, by whom he had three children, but because of adultery and extra-marital affairs, Louis-Philippe's father, Louis le Pieux, refused to regard any of the children as legitimate. His library was sold at auction in 1787.
