Breviarium Monasticum Pauli V. ac Urbani VIII. Summorum Pontificium auctoritate recognitum, pro omnibus sub regula SS.mi P. Benedicti militantibus, in quo sunt omni studio disposita Officia Sanctorum, ut nihil amplius desiderandum supersit. In quattuor Anni Tempora divisum. In 4 volumes

The binding seems contemporary with publication. However there are a number of pages from a later date inserted into the text, e.g. a 24 page revision of 1863 for the Feast on 8 December of the Immaculate Conception. It seems likely/possible that the four volumes were disbound at that time and rebound in the same bindings with the revised texts inserted. One of the insertions is dated 1751, so that it seems likely that the first binding was not done till then. Also interleaved throughout the text are a number of small engraved sheets, containing images of saints and prayers (i.e. in modern parlance, ‘holy cards’). The text on some of these is Portuguese and on one it is German. Hence the book was a working breviary and very likely used outside Italy, its country of origin.
