Reproduction prohibited without authorization. ST. ANDREW DAILY MISSAL WITH VESPERS FOR SUNDAYS AND FEASTS AND KYRIALE By Dom Gaspar Lefebvre, O.S.B., of the Abbey of St. Andrew, Belgium Copyright 1945, reprinted 1999, 1978 pages, black hardcover with gold embossing, gilt-edge pages & five ribbons St. Bonaventure Publications, $42.00, plus $4.50 shipping St. Bonaventure Publications, rapidly becoming a leading publisher of books for the traditional Roman rite, has now republished the 1945 edition of the St. Andrew Daily Missal, the most complete Latin-English handmissal. The St. Andrew is a veritable treasure-trove of riches about the traditional Roman rite, which has no peer. It contains both the Latin and the English for all of the Mass and Vespers, whereas many handmissals skimp on the Latin for the Epistle and Gospel, or other parts of the Proper. More than that, it contains the texts, again in both Latin and English, for the Blessing of the Holy Water, the Asperges, and the Vidi Aquam, the Sacraments, the Litanies, and much more than can be enumerated here. As if this richness were not enough, the St. Andrew contains some of the most detailed traditional liturgical commentary available in English for each Sunday, Feastday, Votive Mass, and Local Feastday in the USA. The traditional rite of Holy Week is included {before the 1956 revision of Pius XII). Extensive Liturgical and Doctrinal Notes are provided for every season of the year and on many special subjects such as the Fourteen Auxiliary Saints and the Stational Churches of Rome. Illustrations in the form of black-and-white woodcuts abound throughout, illustrating the ancient symbology of the Church. The Ordinary of the Mass is printed in black in Latin and English. The Mass rubrics, printed in red, are in English only. The St. Andrew is replete with explanatory tables and a large treasure of devotional prayers in Latin and English. This edition also includes the text and music {in modern notation) for Vespers of Sundays and Feasts and an 85- page Kyriale of text and music for all of the chant Masses. This magnificent tome concludes with detailed indices. The St. Andrew is to be recommended above all other handmissals for its completeness and seemingly limitless treasury of texts and commentary for the traditional Roman rite.
