" Westmalle, Typographia Ordinis Cisterciensium Strictoris Observantiae. MCMLII (1952), in-folio, (51,5 x 32,5 cm), 847 pp. Entirely printed in red & black, with printed music scores (staves printed in red). Bound in full red morocco, Raised spine with gitl title . Large floral fillets on both covers, End-papers in white silk. Small signs of wear at the binding's extremities, very slight discolouring in the lower left corner of the front cover but a very copy with a spotless interio, no library markings. This is the ultimate psalterium publication of the Westmalle Abbey printing press (now famous for its Triple beer). The book is printed in 49 Pt bold lettertype (28 lines per page) because it was to be read and used by the assembled community together. The Cistercians Monastic Order of the Strict Observation (Trappists) was suppressed , like most other monastic orders after the French Revolution.(1791). Upon the Bourbon restauration in the 19th c. the Westmalle Abbey (Flanders, Belgium) acquired the publishing rights for the order's liturgical books. They started with a printing press and typographical equipment donated by the last owners of the Plantin-Moretus Press in Antwerp ; this a few years before the family sold the complete printing house to city of Antwerp, where it became a museum. A very nice copy ; testimony of the last liturgical book for the use of the Trappist abbeys. whose founders had started in Citeaux (in Latin Cistercium) in 1098 !."
