They do not use the Pius XII psalms. The "Bea Psalms" are not in use anymore and the Benedictines never adopted that translation. They stayed with the Vulgate. So this diurnal uses the traditional Vulgate for the Latin. I do not know what translation is used for the English.

@ thank you. 🙏 I probably buy it in the near future. I just bought the 1961 baronius Press breviary they didn’t include the Pope Pius 12 Psalter either.

To your first question, I believe ICEL (icelweb.org/) is in charge of the translation. Since the Martyrology itself isn't as popularly known, I don't think there's really a rush to finish its translation. Traditionally, the next day's entry was read, so on Dec 20th, you would read the entry for Dec 21st. As for reading it as a devotional, yes, you can simply read through however many entries for the day you like.

transitional with priestly ordination hopefully in mid 2025 please keep me and all clergy/seminarians in your prayers

​​@@StatCruxVolviturOrbispleaae keep it up and we will keep praying.

I'm not familiar with the Blessed Trinity prayer book. If you look in the description of this video you should find a link to some pictures of the table of contents for this book which you can then compare to the Blessed Trinity prayer book.

@@StatCruxVolviturOrbis thank you!

There are 3 things we might see at the beginning of an ecclesiastical work. There is a difference between the "nihil obstat" granted when no errors prevent the book from being published, the "imprimi potest" which is granted by a religious superior for a work written by one in the religious community, and the "imprimatur" which is when the bishop of the place gives permission for it to be printed. Yet all of these don't necessarily include the approval of vernacular translations of liturigcal texts. Since the Divine Office is a liturgical prayer, any cleric who is bound to pray the Divine Office would need to either use the original latin text, or an approved vernacular translation such as those prepared by ICEL or some other group. A similar example would be the 1962 latin-english hand missals used by many people. While these have an english translation of the missal texts, it was mean for an individual's own enrichment and not for official use

@@StatCruxVolviturOrbis oh this makes sense, thank you for this detailed explanation Deacon!

I believe it was a few weeks - at least for me - since it had to be delivered internationally. Hopefully there's no problems with your shipment

The measurements are approximately 6 inches tall, 4 inches deep, and 1.25 inches wide. The 8th edition is a good pocket size. The cover will make it larger but it will also keep the book protected

It's a 1960 reprint and VII began in 1962 so there is no cause for your concern. Additionally, I trust PCP to do an honest job reprinting older works

There are prayers for those who are dying and recently deceased. There is one prayer mentioning the holy souls in purgatory, but there isn't a section specifically for that devotion. The print is normal for the size of the book probably 12 or 11 point font. It's small but decently spaced and readable for me at least.

If you look on amazon it's available from a couple different vendors: www.amazon.com/s?k=visits+to+Jesus+in+the+tabernacle&crid=3CERC5YA8DOE9&sprefix=visits+to+jesus+in+the+tabernacle%2Caps%2C90&ref=nb_sb_noss_2

I have no way of telling the font size precisely. The text of the Gospel looks to be around 14 or 12 point with the commentary by the fathers being one level below that. I find it spaced out and large enough to read leisurely. Here is a sample page Baronius Press provides if you want to print it out and see www.baronius.com/media/sample_pages/sample_page__3200.pdf

@@StatCruxVolviturOrbis This info is very useful, thank you so much. I am probably going to pick this up in large part due to this information.

the font on the summa isn't bad. it's bigger than it looks, especially with a bookmark.

Com o tempo de aprender e muita oração

Since the Diurnal is published by an english community, my best guess would be some version of - or similar to - the Book of Common Prayer, although I have no way to verify this.

@@StatCruxVolviturOrbis Thanks for the reply. I was guessing along similar lines and checked the Coverdale Psalms in the Book of Common Prayer. It's not them. Nor the KJV (which would be understandable) or an early version of the RSV, which also has thees and thous. Neither is it the Knox. Or the Douay-Rheims. If it is a modern (1960s or something) translation, it's strange that the language is anachronistic, imitating Elizabethan English. The reason I think it's a modern "anachronistic" translation is that the syntax and grammar isn't quite the same as genuine (slightly awkward) Elizabethan English. Either that, or it's been smoothed out in a revision. I'm still guessing :)

I believe I ordered this late 2018 or early 2019. I haven't seen many other copies in the wild so I haven't had a chance to compare

Thank you!

Did you see the Novo et Veteral Breviarium Romanum or one that online looks to me to be similar but likely not real leather from "Editions Iris", a French publisher that does a really nice leather Latin-French Roman Diurnal?

Unfortunately, I think the 7th edition is no longer available rendering such a question a moot point.

@@StatCruxVolviturOrbis Not really. I found one that is why i am asking for opinions.

Unlike the 7th ed. I havent used the 8th ed. for an extended time as I borrowed it for the video. While the 8th may not seem as durable I think the case it ships with makes up for the difference. If they're both the same price go with the 8th. If the 7th is significantly cheaper and you want to just try it out then go that route

@@StatCruxVolviturOrbis Thank you last question. The 7th was significantly more expensive so does it have something the 8th does not?

@@gegaoli I dont know what shop you were looking at but it's possible the older edition has gone up precisely because it is no longer in print and thus considered a "limited" edition by someone looking to make more. Other than that the two are the same as I noted in the video so I dont see why one would be more than another

If I was going for portability I'd choose this smaller book; if I was looking for the most prayers in a devotional book, I'd likely choose "Blessed Be God"

It does include the penitential psalms and Litany and prayers for those who are dying. I dont believe it has preparatory prayers for Mass as it's meant as a breviary and not a devotional book

I haven't noticed any typos but I also haven't read it very thoroughly using it more for reference than continual reading. Also I'm sorry, but I'm not aware of the differences between it the PCP and Baronius versions I'd have to look into it more.

I left a link in the description. I'm sure there's other places you could obtain one, but the vatican bookstore is the main place www.vaticanum.com/en/martyrologium-romanum-editio-typica-altera-2004

@@StatCruxVolviturOrbis Thank you. I’ve wanted a copy of this for a long time.

The book itself doesn't say. I did a little looking around but nothing came up too easily except it's a reprint of the 1963 edition. Perhaps an older edition might state which translation has been used. Otherwise it seems the only option is to sit down and compare it with another to figure it out.

@@StatCruxVolviturOrbis Ok. Thank you so much for replying.

I was going to ask exactly the same question! When I bought it, I expected it to be the Douay-Rheims. It reads well though.

If by thorough you mean those bound to recite the divine office can fulfill their obligation using matins as it is in this edition, then it's thorough. It doesn't have English and it's after the reforms of St. John XXIII so matins may not be as "thorough" as the benedictine office or any older versions of the roman breviary you find, but this edition has the standard 9 psalms and 3 readings and then 9 readings for certain feasts

That sounds like a wonderful spiritual treasure!

@@StatCruxVolviturOrbis it is but she wore it out pretty well !

I guess you could always come across someone selling a used version, but as far as I know the publisher's website is the only place to get it.

@@StatCruxVolviturOrbis thank you! I am always looking forward for your reviews

Did you get the books via post or other delivery method?

The Barroux Abbey in France sells the Novo et Vetera Breviarium Romanum as well. Their website is more modern and secure than Novo et Vetera's.

No, the psalms and the rest of the breviary follow the 2 column layout of the propers. They have more pictures on their website www.breviariumromanum.com/inside.html

I do have a copy of Baronius' 62 missal but I have some other books I'd like to review first. There are some decent video reviews and comparisons about the Baronius Press missal available online though

If you follow the links in the description you'll find it's about 35-40 USD
