MINIATURE BOOK – Prieres ecclesiastiques, auec l’exercice du pere de famille. Geneva: François Perrin, 1566.
An unrecorded miniature book in a charming contemporary, or early 17th-century, backless embroidered binding. This miniature edition might have been issued alongside another of Perrin’s publications printed in 1566, La Bible ... La forme des prieres ecclesiastiques, etc., a book of psalms and prayers with musical notation. Its musical element might explain the unusual shape of the present work, which resembles the body of a string instrument.
(59 x 42mm). Collation: a-k8. Text in roman and italics (lacking e8, faint waterstaining). Contemporary embroidered covers with floral design, edges gilt (lightly worn, fragile due to perished stitch).
