Hardcover. liv, 208 double-column p. in antique type; 23 cm. Much pencil marking throughout, including some scholarly notes. From Preface: `The book now presented to liturgical students is a reprint of the first text of the Reformed Breviary of Cardinal Quignon [at the order of Pope Paul III, and] was in use only from February 1535 to July 1536. During this short time there appeared at least six editions. [The editor collated four editions, designated R. (Rome March 1535), V. (Venice 1535: the editor's copy, forming basis of his text, lacunae supplied from R.), P. (Paris 1536), and A. (Antwerp 1536)] It is hoped that all the more important variations.will be found in the notes at the foot of the page [variations from second recension of 1536 were too numerous for inclusion] .contractions used by the printers of the sixteenth century have been expanded. The determination of the Syndicate.to print only the beginning and end of each lesson from the Vulgate has spared the reprint a great increase of bulk.the Psalms have not been reprinted; but the beginning and end of each have been given. It did not seem worth while to give all the variations of the endings of the collects. Nor was it thought desirable to represent all the variations in spelling. .the present work is an attempt to follow distantly in Mr [William John] Blew's footsteps with a desire to throw light upon one of the sources of our Book of Common Prayer. -- From ODCC, 3rd ed.: Quinones' recension `often called the `Breviary of the Holy Cross.abolished almost entirely the difference of rank in the Feasts. and reduced to a minimum the readings from the Lives of the Saints. it was attacked.and eventually proscribed by Paul IV in 1558.' (p. 1357f) Good orig. black cloth, spine ends chipped and rubbed.
