ISBN:

This comprehensive, single-volume is masterfully structured as a parallel reference tool, utilizing a precise dual-column verse-by-verse alignment that pairs the traditional Latin ecclesiastical text on the left with its formal Victorian English translation on the right. Rather than offering a generalized layout, this specific "New and Complete Edition" incorporates highly localized liturgical structures, explicitly detailing all specialized feasts and proper calendars for England, Scotland, and Ireland alongside dedicated propers for the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) and the Order of St. Benedict (Benedictines).The volume is highly celebrated for its spectacular, classical frontispiece engraving—rendered here after a sacred painting by Renaissance master Mariotto Albertinelli—depicting the Holy Trinity framing Christ on the Cross. Functioning as a high-utility historical archive of the pre-Vatican II Latin liturgy, this uniform 19th-century compilation provides an indispensable window into the daily prayer rituals, devotional habits, and ecclesiastical network of the English-speaking Catholic world at the close of the nineteenth century.
