Label TextThe royal coat of arms of louis XV, King of France 1715 to 1774, decorates the rich leather binding of this book, containing all the liturgy for the holy week before Easter. The three fleur-de-lys arranged within a shield surmounted by the royal crown were stamped in gold, as was the richly tooled border.J.
