Description
Later Mommaert ed. (first 1647) of a confession manual, trsl. into Dutch by Daniel a Virgine Maria (1615-1678), provincial of the Belgian Carmelites. Part of the book consists of a systematic catalogue of sins. By a simple but efficient procedure of movable parts it was possible to indicate one's sins without naming them : each entry was partly cut loose in such a way that one could make a fold in the relevant slips of paper, hand it over to the priest who then stretched the slips flat again. The last part of the book consists of a set of appropriate prayers. Ill. with 2 engr. ills. Gothic type within border of type ornaments. Stamp. Ownership entry on flyleaf.
