Vogel, Matthaeus [S.J.] Erste und fürnehmste Weiß dem Heiligen Meß=Opffer nutzlich und andächtig beyzuwohnen Sambt einem Anhang einiger Früh= und Abends, Beicht= und Communion=Gebetter. Mannheim, gedruckt und verlegt in der Churfürstl. Hoff= und Cantzley=Buchdruckerey bey Nicolas Pierron, [Mannheim, Nicolas Pierron, Electoral printer] 1752. 4to. 232p (wrongly numbered 196p). Text in fraktur type within line border. With 35 plates designed by Jan Philip van der Schlichten and engraved by P.A. Kilian, and last plate by J. G. Wis[s]ger. Bound in contemporary calf, spine richly gilt, edges gilt; preserved in its original calf slip box; binding and box with a few isolated light traces of worming. Finely illustrated rococo missal in vernacular German presenting the Roman rite as an allegory of the Passion of Christ. The remarkably detailed illustrations by Jan Philips van der Schlichten (1681-1745), court painter of the Elector of Baden, show the different positions taken by the priest and altar boy at each stage of the of ritual and their appropriate ecclesiastical vestments ; each plate has an architectural background of varying richly decorated altar-pieces. Schlichten was a prolific Dutch artist who had moved to Heidelberg in 1720. The plates were engraved by Philipp Andreas Kilian (1714-89), court engraver to Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony, excepting the last one, by the Mannheim artist Johann Georg Wis(s)ger (c1722-97). In the present copy plates 33 and 34 were printed out of sequence; this was corrected by the printer by pasting the appropriate version on top of the impression. The compiler was the Jesuit educational writer Vogel; the imperial privilege, dated Mannheim, 8th February 1752, is followed by a preface by Theodor Weber, Father Provincial for the Rhine region. Light traces of usage in a few right margins, otherwise well preserved for a manual of this kind; blank end papers with early 19th century owners notes in ink and pencil. A separate impression of the plates with a brief French text was issued from the same press in 1738 with the title Tableaux de la Sainte Messe (36f) - see Lipperheide Oc28, (illustration no 106, but dated 1764).…
