I recently bought this set and was very pleased. I didn't buy the slipcase, since I don't plan on bringing the volumes with me outside my home. As I do with all my more expensive books, I cut off the frayed end of the ribbons and apply clear nail polish to them. This might be a weird take, but in some sense, it is "too user friendly". For example, many of the texts in the Ordinary (both the "ordinary Ordinary" and the "Ordinary of the Season") are also in the Psalter itself, like the Nunc Dimittis at Compline, the readings at the Capitular Office of Prime, and the antiphons for the minor Hours during Advent and Lent. Lot less page flipping than anticipated. Not really a complaint; it just shows the love and care that went into it. This has made it easier for me to pray the Divine Office devoutly, as I now have a book instead of an app.
Such a niche publisher and niche book for that matter and I genuinely appreciate you posting all these reviews. I just submitted my order request today. God bless you
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
I’m glad to have come across this one, for sure this kind of books will last a life time. Wonderful review btw! Do you have an idea if it can be ordered on Amazon?
Did you procure this set from the publisher recently, or did you get them a few years ago? The binding looks a little finer than what I’ve seen in person over the last few years.
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?
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
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

A beautiful Breviary. Thanks for the review.
I finally took the plunge and bought it
Can you do a review on the Baronius press missal
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
I don't even know why I'm watching this I can't speak latin, but now I want one.
Com o tempo de aprender e muita oração

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.
Stunningly beautiful breviary.
Did you procure this set from the publisher recently, or did you get them a few years ago? The binding looks a little finer than what I’ve seen in person over the last few years.
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!

I just wanted to ask how long did it take for it to be delivered to you? Thank you. I also ordered from the same site you put on the link.
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
How thorough is matins in this?
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.

Are the psalms arranged on a single column? I don’t think you showed a psalm in this review.
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
