Description: Paris [Lutetiae Parisiorum], Associated Booksellers to the Church [Apud Societatum Typographicam Librorum Officij Ecclesiastici], 1623. Hardcover. 12mo. Rebound in full brown velour over heavy boards (likely late 19th century). (94pp), 735pp, (1p), i-cxxxvj. Small title page engraving and single full-page engraving (unnumbered p. 94). Overall very good. Binding a bit edgeworn and rubbed, with a few spots, but strong; text block tightly cropped as is typical, but tight and quite nice, with corner or edge chips on title page (not affecting text), unnumbered p. 33-34 (slightly affecting several words) and pp. 367-72 (not affecting text); cloth fore-edge tabs marking leaf 363-64 and 365-66; old but neat archival paper gutter reinforcements to inner hinges; 19th c. bookplate on inner flyleaf of Wisconsin religious academy, couple of pencilled 19th c. ownership signatures on facing leaf and miniscule Wisconsin convent inkstamp at bottom of title page and one text page. Fairly attractive, quite handleable later printing of the Council of Trent's 1570 official issue, as authorized by Pope Pius V and corrected by Pope Clement VIII in 1604, but preceding the further revisions authorized by Pope Urban VIII in 1634. The Roman Missal contains, in two-column large typeface format with extensive varying-sized historiated initials, numerous texts for the celebration of the most common liturgy and Mass of the Catholic Church, with numerous hymns scattered throughout. Many portions throughout printed in red. Interestingly, on display at Moseley Old Hall in Wolverhampton in central England is a copy of this same Paris 1623 prayer book, believed to be the edition that a Father Huddleston possibly used to convert Charles II to Catholicism on his deathbed when the King summoned the Benedictine priest to his bedside at Whitehall Palace in London in 1685. .
