Monti, Cesare,1593-1650
Mediolani [Milan]. : Apud impressores Archiepiscopales.,
M. DC. XLIX. [1649]
Printed in red and black throughout.
All but 2 plates signed Hercules Prociaccinius del; Fredericus Agnellus sculp.
Vol. 1 has after last blank leaf a gathering of 24 leaves headed 'Pars Hyemalis I.', sigs. C1-24; pp. 65-109. This is a set of additional material for the section of the Breviary headed 'Proprium de tempore', also printed in red and black with the same font, but on different paper and with stylistic differences, and with some duplication of contents. This is presumably an extract from a larger supplement to the Ambrosian Breviary, but there is no indication as to its relationship with this edition.
These volumes cover the readings from the first Sunday in October to Easter; they are probably part of a four-volume set with two further volumes ('Pars Aestiva') for the rest of the Church year, but no other records for this edition have been found.
Colophon on last leaf of both volumes: Apud Haeredem Pacifici Pontij, & Picalae, Impressorum Archiepiscopalem.
Contents from title pages of volumes.
Vol. 1: Pars Hyemalis I. A Dominica I. Octobris usque ad Octavam Epiphaniae. -- Vol. 2: Pars Hyemalis II. Ab Octava Epiphaniae usque ad Pascha resurrectionis.

Minetti; bookplate of Fort Augustus Library on front pastedown of both volumes; Library pressmark label on front pastedown of both volumes: Liturgica B8.
