About this Item

An attractive early Georgian binding for this bilingual BCP. "A reissue of the French-English 1717 'Book of common prayer', with a new title page and preliminaries in French added before the original parallel French and English title pages, and slight resetting by removal of ornaments in the direction lines" (ESTC). In this copy, the French title appears first, followed by the French prelims, and the English title precedes the text. Octavo (195 x 120 mm). Ruled in red throughout; double columns, parallel English and French text. Contemporary black morocco, spine divided in six compartments by raised bands, compartments divided saltire-wise with dotted rules, with tulip-head tools and dots, sides gilt with a central lozenge built up of massed tools enclosed by an outer lozenge of rolls and flower-heads, cornerpieces, outer French fillet in gilt, turn-ins gilt with floral roll, comb-marbled endpapers, gilt edges. An attractive copy, with a little expert furbishment (repairs to head and joints, corners consolidated, gilt retouched), internally clean. A very good royal-ruled copy.
