PONTIFICALE ROMANUM. Pontificale secundum Ritus sacrosancte Romane ecclesie. [Venice: Lucantonio de Giunta, 1520].
2o (340 x 239 mm). Gothic type, double-column. Printed in red and black throughout. Title with emblematic and historiated border repeated on a1r, o2r, and y8r, 167 text woodcuts, including repeats, numerous woodcut historiated initials, musical notation in black on red staves. (Some light soiling to title, some occasional very pale spotting.) Olive morocco, edges gilt, by De Coverly (joints and board edges slightly rubbed). Provenance: Brother Custodius Do Vale (30 March 1717 document in Latin with decorative colored floral border mounted as frontispiece, being his declaration of faith when entering a monastic order, partly defective due to ink corrosion); Herbert S. Squance (bookplate); Charles C. Kalbfleisch (leather booklabel); acquired from Dawson's Book Shop, 1975.
The third Guinta Pontificale. There were five Giunta editions printed in Venice: 1510, 1515, 1520 (the present), 1543 and 1544. The work contains the order of service, with music, for those sacraments administered exclusively by popes or bishops, and is illustrated throughout. The first section covers the ordination, consecration, and blessing of people such as clergy, deacons, abbots and abbesses. The second section deals with the consecration and blessing of property, including church buildings, altars, liturgical objects, such as bells, chalices, and crosses, and the blessing of holy oil. The final section contains rules governing ceremonies of synods and other pontifical events throughout the church year. Adams B-1238; Essling 1695.
