"A richly detailed liturgical manual, Manuale Sacrarum Caeremoniarum Juxta Ritum S. Romanae Ecclesiae by Michaele Bauldry, printed in Venice in 1762, presents the precise ceremonial order and protocols of the Roman Catholic Church as practiced in the mid-eighteenth century. Rooted in the authoritative traditions of the Roman Rite, it provides step-by-step guidance for clergy on the performance of Mass, the sacraments, and other ecclesiastical offices, encompassing vestments, altars, processions, and the solemnities of the liturgical year. Written in Latin and reflecting the high Baroque devotion to ritual order and aesthetic solemnity, the volume served as both a theological and practical reference for the correct execution of sacred ceremonies, ensuring uniformity within the Church's global hierarchy.

This Venetian edition is notable for its elegant typography and association with one of Europe's major centers of religious printing, marking it as both a devotional and bibliophilic object. The inscription "Ex Libri Caroli Antonii" reveals prior ownership by an individual of clerical or scholarly standing, adding an appealing provenance for collectors of ecclesiastical texts. A desirable work for connoisseurs of Catholic liturgical history, students of eighteenth-century theology, and collectors of early Venetian imprints."
