[Extremely rare Antwerp edition, with special provenance] Devote alleen-spraken,

oft meditatien van de ziele tot haeren Godt. Ende Salige waerschouwingen voor alle persoonen die hun oeffenen in 't Ghebedt. Ghemaeckt in 't Spaensch door de H. Moeder Teresa van Jesus, ende verduytscht door een Religieus van haer Orden. Antwerp, weduwe J. Cnobbaert, 1649, 151 p., contemporary vellum with two ivory or bone bead-and-loop locks, with old shelf marks and title in ink on spine, 8vo (11.2 x 5.7 cm.).

Several leaves are misbound, the original owner has indicated in places in pen how to continue reading. Extremely rare pocket publication, no other copies found! On the title page a contemporary owner's inscription by a "Carmelitersse" and on reverse of title an old owner's inscription: "Maria, Carmeliterssen te Boxmeer, Elzendaal". Besides the rarity and interesting provenance, the binding itself, even in its simplicity, worth mentioning. It is a very fine example of a pocket book cherished at the time and now virtually untraceable.
