Catholic Devotional Booklet 1914 - Rotterdam Ignatius Church - Latin Hymns and Psalms

A small and understated devotional booklet from 1914, published for the Church of St. Ignatius in Rotterdam. This booklet contains a collection of spiritual hymns and Latin psalms intended for use during mass and for personal devotion.

The combination of Latin and Dutch clearly places it in a period when Catholic liturgy was still highly traditional. The booklet bears an ecclesiastical approval dated April 28, 1914, which makes it a beautiful and concrete historical document from just before the First World War.

The simple design with a paper cover emphasizes its original functional purpose. At the same time, the wear gives it an authentic appearance that fits well within a collection of religious objects or antique books.

A modest but evocative piece, especially interesting for enthusiasts of Catholic history, devotional books, or Rotterdam heritage items.
