Introducing the Missale Romanum Hardcover Lined Journal, a stunning reproduction that captures the essence of a historic treasure. With 150 perforated pages, this journal perfectly blends beauty and practicality. The design artfully reproduces the intricate silver-bound appearance of an 18th-century missal, but the journal is printed flat.
Inspired by a missal published in Antwerp by the Plantin-Moretus press around 1710, this journal pays homage to the cultural and commercial connections of the Spanish Empire during the colonial period. The original missal, essential for the celebration of the Roman Catholic Mass, was distributed throughout the Spanish Empire under a license from Philip II, solidifying the Plantin-Moretus press as the foremost provider of liturgical books in Spanish America.
The journal’s design reflects the missal’s rare silver repoussé binding, which was added in Peru, likely in Cuzco. The ornamentation, emulating embossed leather from Spain, blends European Mannerist elements with Andean artistic influences.
