This stunning 1777 Venetian edition of the Officium Beatae Mariae Virginis is an absolute treasure! The rich bordeaux leather cover with exquisite gold embellishments catches the eye, while the five detailed copper engravings inside are breathtaking. Holding this beautifully preserved piece of history - with its gilded edges and original ribbon marker - feels like touching the past. The compact 12.5cm size makes it surprisingly portable for such an ornate devotional book.
