Missale ad sacrosancte Constantiensis ecclesie usum nunc cum variis additamentis et in fine devotis missis cum vel sequentiis ante hac nusque visis elimatissime impressum. Novissime quoque Rothomagi cum appropriatis vuilibet hystoriis. Consummatum anno Domini virtutum conditorisque mundi millesimo quingentesimo. xxiiii. Die quarta mensis octobris.
A 1524 Missale printed in Rouen by Pierre Olivier for use in the Constance church, a liturgical book for priests and the clergy, with Latin text in black letter and red rubrics. Its pages carry woodcut historiated initials and small framed scenes, such as a bishop enthroned among clergy and a nativity bed scene, showing dense typographic texture, strong black-and-red hierarchy, and decorative capitals a designer could adapt for ornamental letterforms.
