Underlining and a number on the title page; localized fading and discoloration on the pages, especially in the lower part of the block; the first section is loose and slightly warped at the fold; the corners of the last dozen or so pages are bent. Leather-half binding, partly made of period materials; endpapers of printed 18th-century paper.

A collection of sermons by the Augustinian Chrysostom Jan Gołembiowski, theologian and preacher to Jan III Sobieski—sermons for every Sunday of the year, delivered, among other occasions, during Sejm sessions and before the royal majesty. The author expounds on moral and spiritual teachings, encouraging the reader to reflect on their own life and to practice Christian virtues; the language of the sermons is rich in metaphors and religious references.
