Very appealingly bound, extremely rare Portuguese liturgical collection of prayers and devotions to Saint Anthony of Padua (1195-1231). They are known to have been issued variously between 1761 and 1850 (the editions of 1828, 1844 and 1869 all having 80 pages), but no other copy of an 1840 edition could be traced.

Slight browning; a few edges slightly wrinkled. The splendid binding, apparently crafted for the Portuguese royal family, shows tiny flaws to spine, otherwise immaculate.
