This Missal is for use in England and Wales, and Scotland.
Beauty & Durability
• Binding. Bound in deluxe genuine padded Italian leather.
• Cover decoration. Gold decorative blocking on front, back and spine, plus Florentine gold blocking on inside lip of cover. Cruciform design based on Byzantine St George’s cross; border design inspired by Ingeborg Psalter.
• Durable spine. Ribbed spine gives greater durability and ensures the volume lies flat and keeps its shape over time.
• Strong binding. Endpapers made of extra-strong tear-resistant Skinplast® to ensure durability.
• Gilded page edges.
• Colour illustrations. Full-colour illustrations from the 12th-century Ingeborg Psalter (Musée Condé), printed on high-quality art paper.
Ease of use

• Ribbons. Six liturgically-coloured 25mm-wide ribbons with hand-sewn butterfly ends to ensure no fraying. Expertly joined to the volume to prevent tangling.
