Original 1851 Spanish edition of Año Cristiano, o Ejercicios Devotos para Todos los Días del Año – Setiembre, by Father Juan Croisset of the Society of Jesus.

Translated into Spanish by Father José Francisco de Isla and expanded with the lives of the saints and religious feast days celebrated by the Church in Spain, with additions by Fr. Pedro Centeno and Fr. Juan de Rojas.

Published in Logroño, Spain, by the Establecimiento Tipográfico de D. Domingo Ruiz in 1851.

This volume is particularly attractive for its extensive period illustration. Each day of September opens with a detailed wood-engraved religious illustration associated with the saint or feast commemorated that day, creating a remarkable sequence of nineteenth-century devotional imagery throughout the volume.

Examples include illustrations for San Gil, San Esteban of Hungary, San Pedro Arbués, Our Lady of Mercy, San Jerónimo, and many others.
