Hardcover. Condition: Good. HORAE DIURNAE BREVIARII PRAEMONSTRATENSIS Petrum Perrin, Virduni (Verdun), 1752 Decretis Capitulorum Generalium accommodatae atque authoritate Rmi in Christo Patris ac Domini D. Bruonis Becourt, Abbatis Praemonstrati & totius Ordinis Generalis, editae et approbatae. A highly scarce eighteenth-century Premonstratensian devotional Office book, printed in Verdun in 1752 under the authority of Dom Bruno Becourt, Abbot General of the Premonstratensian Order. This Horae Diurnae Breviarii Praemonstratensis represents the daily Office tradition of the Norbertine Order in its mature pre-revolutionary liturgical form, preserving the distinctive usages and devotional rhythm of one of the Church's oldest canonical communities. Bound in period leather with gilt page edges, the volume retains the refined monastic character typical of mid-eighteenth-century ecclesiastical printing. The absence of reading ribbons is noted. Collation: xv, 512, cxx pages, including the rare supplementary section: Supplementum Diurnalis Praemonstratensis pro Ecclesia Grimbergensi (15 pp.) Works of this nature were intended for regular liturgical and devotional use within Premonstratensian communities, making surviving examples increasingly uncommon, particularly with supplemental local material preserved. An important and highly desirable survival from the liturgical tradition of the Premonstratensian Order before the upheavals of the late eighteenth century. Very rare.
