Yellowing of paper in places, minor stains, otherwise good condition. Monogram stamp M.A. Handwritten short subject index on the back pastedown. Secret Ossolineum printing issued in an edition of 500 copies, much of which was lost seized by the police."The booklet is very rare, and yet it will be easiest to find it in Lvov or in the provinces, in the former Galicia. This is because this is where it was most widely distributed. The book's low price, 15 krajcars, made it affordable to all classes of the nation. Spreading the greatest danger, according to the court, as it was written in biblical style, 'Books' had easy access to everyone. Thus, passing from hand to hand, they shared the fate of similar ephemeral prints and were destroyed in large part" (Semkowicz 135-136). After the main text, "Pilgrim's Prayer" and "Pilgrim's Litany.
