DIARIO ECCLESIASTICO PARA O REINO DE PORTUGAL PRINCIPALMENTE PARA A CIDADE DE LISBOA, PARA O ANNO DE 1829.

Lisbon (1828) 48mo. 192pp. + folding map. An elegant embroidered hand-calendar, giving Feast Days, a Court Calendar, phases of the moon, eclipses, lists of kings, bishops, cardinals, and more. Includes the lineage of the Royal Family. Frontispiece is an engraved, hand-colored folding map of Portugal. Very fine white satin embroidered binding with gold threads, sequins, and silver wire. Both front and back covers are bordered with open floral interlace. In the center of the front is the coat of arms of the Portuguese royal family, surmounted by a crown. On the back is a colorful, diminutive scene in which a shepherd leaves a tree-shaded cottage with his dog. The spine is decorated with a sequinned interlace. Faint wear to extremities, else a fine example of a near miniature almanac, seldom encountered with Portuguese imprints. A.e.g. (3 3/4 by 2 1/8; 92x60mm). (Embroidered Binding).
