Condition :
Minor rubbing to the covers. A transverse mark to the title page, without affecting the text.
Metal ring slightly warped. Despite these minor defects, the book remains in very good overall condition.
About the author :
Dom Ruillard belonged to the long tradition of scholarly religious authors who devoted their work to the study of saints, liturgical calendars and Christian traditions.
His writings contributed to preserving centuries of religious and cultural memory.
About the book :
The volume perfectly illustrates Robert Morel's editorial imagination. By presenting a dictionary of saints in a tiny circular format bound with a metal ring, he transformed a reference book into a collectible object.
Why this book is unusual
Few books combine such an uncommon physical format with a subject as traditional as the calendar of saints.
It is simultaneously a reference work, a cultural document and a highly distinctive book-object.
Why this book remains relevant today
Many traditional feast days and the origins of personal names are increasingly forgotten. This book offers a valuable introduction to an important aspect of European cultural heritage.
