A characteristic London embroidered binding of the second quarter of the seventeenth century, rare in a dos-‡-dos format. Although textile bindings of canvas and velvet were popular during the Elizabethan period as coverings for devotional books, the style reached its height during the stuart period. "During the seventeenth century little õdoubleã books were rather favourite forms for Common Prayer and Psalms especially. These curious bindings open opposite ways and have two backs, two ornamental boards, and one unornamented board enclosed between the two books, which are always of the same size" (Davenport, English Embroidered Bindings, 38) ESTC S124408 (STC 2943); ESTC S4149 (STC 2645.7) HBS 68129. $6,500

Description:
39 pp.Unrecorded account of the life and works of the blessed Torello of Poppi (1202-1282), a Franciscan hermit in Tuscany. Although here called San Torello, he was beatified in the 18th century but has not been canonized. Accounts of his miracles saving small children led people to treat him as a patron of pregnant women (pp. 3-12), with directions for a nine-day exercise for pregnant women to invoke a fortunate pregnancy, with a mediation devoted to San Torello on pp. 13-30. On pp. 31-34 is a responsory in verse, to be recited at the tomb of San Torello, followed by a method to invoke the mediation of San Torello, some citations from the Bible and short prayers (pp. 35-39).Very good copy in a beautiful contemporary embroidered binding.l Not in KVK; WorldCat.
