An interesting collection of Dominical orations/Paternosters, reflecting on its pages the condition of Oriental printing at that time. No efforts were spared to obtain as many as possible for the rendition of each language, with the result that eight versions were printed in different exotic types and 20 versions engraved.€ 400
