Proprivm missarvm de sanctis ad usum Sacri Ordinis Cisterciensis.... Tulli Leucorum:
Sumptibus Joannis Eliae Höffling, 1672. Folio (34 cm, 13.5"). A–B4
C2; 20 pp. 
The
title-page has an engraving of angels before a monstrance, two with censers.
The masses begin with a small charming woodcut initial, and the major feasts
and the Canon are each preceded by a full-page engraving, some of which are
signed by Iottain: these are the Annunciation (First Sunday of Advent), Nativity
of our Lord, Adoration of the Magi (Epiphany), Crucifixion (Canon), Risen
Christ (Easter Day), Ascension, Pentecost, Last Supper (Corpus Christi), Assumption,
and All Saints. There are more than 
50
pp. of music, including the Exsultet and the prefaces, printed
with black square notes on a red four line staff, as usual.
Provenance: On the title-page below the engraved vignette is the following inscription: “Pro Monasterio B.M.V. in Plass S.O.Cist comparavit R[everendissimus] D[ominus] Benedict Engelken loci abbas . . . Anno D[omin]i 1673.” Plass or Plasy is a Cistercian abbey (now redundant) in western Bohemia, founded ca. 1144. On the verso of second front flyleaf is inscribed in ink “Sacristiæ S. Thomæ a 1 Julii 1804.”
• Mottled calf with remnants of sumptuous gilt; rebacked, leather with holes for hardware not present; stained and peeling in places. Leaves in good condition for a missal; some paper repairs in margins with loss of rules, a few small holes in bottom margins, expected soiling on most used pages and some in margins elsewhere, no obscured or lost text. Marbled endpapers. Vellum tabs for leaves of canon. Six silk placemarkers attached to a red and green silk headband (not part of binding). All edges gauffered and gilt.
