Roman Ritual | Complete 3 Volume Set

In Latin & English With Rubrics & Plainchant Notation [vol 1: The Sacraments & Processions; vol 2: Christian Burial, Exorcism, Reserved Blessings, etc.; vol 3: The Blessings] [in 3 vols] 2005-2007 [exact reprint of 1945-1952 imprimatur ed.] simulated leather/red rubrics/ribbons [We reprinted this 3 volume set as close as possible to the original specifications of the 1st printing which occurred between 1946 to 1952.  This traditional ritual is unique since it is in Latin with an English translation.  Moreover, there is an extensive commentary on many of the sacraments and ceremonies. The actual texts for the prayers are printed in black and the rubrics are red.  Our edition includes a ribbon in each of the volumes.  The sturdy hardback binding should last for many years of use by members of the clergy when administering the sacraments or performing the ceremonies involved. These are liturgical books, in that sense. The books are printed with real ink, properly sewn so that the pages do not come out and they are bound in imitation leather, each volume is a different color. We did add a supplement in volume 2 since it did not include the “Litany of the Precious Blood.”  The other official litanies are included, but this last litany was promulgated in 1960 so it didn’t find its way into the original printing. We are offering these 3 books as a set but you may purchase them individually, if you wish to do so. It took our publishing organization 2 years to bring out these books in our first printing, i.e. from 2005 to 2007.  Since then we have gone through 4 re-printings of this set. It was a monumental project to undertake, but it was worth it given the fact that these ceremonies and sacraments are essential as far as the traditional formulations are concerned.
