Octavo, 424, 84 ('Des Königs un Propheten Davids Psalter verdeutscht durch Dr Martin Luther'), 56 ('Episteln und Evangelia, wie solche auf alle Sonn-, Fest- und Feiertage, durchs ganze Jahr pflegen gelesen zu werden') pages.
Contemporary full black velvet with gilt pierced metal corner-pieces, decorative onlays (a cartouche on the front cover, a classical urn on the rear) and clasp (possibly for the publisher C.F. Wiedemann, Roda, Saxony-Anhalt, whose label appears on the front pastedown); watered silk linings; all edges gilt; velvet a little rubbed and faded at the edges; faint traces of old onlays within the cartouche on the front cover (apparently a date); paper slightly toned throughout; minimal signs of age and use; in excellent condition.
A most attractive velvet-bound German Hymn Book.
