New version, Dec 29

Again, there are many new corrections and changes to the PDF files.

I have been continuing work on the Proper of Seasons, and have completely revised the layout, rubrics, et cetera, for everything up to and including the second week after Easter.

I think I've made note of this before, but the two PDF files differ greatly now. In the Breviarium5x8 file, many of the appendices have been removed, in order to make sure the Breviary is under 740 pages (the Lulu page limit). It also has a condensed version of the Proper of Saints, giving only unique antiphons and versicles. If the antiphon and versicle are from the common of saints, it is not duplicated here. This adds a little bit more page-flipping, but saves a good deal of space.

In the Breviarium file, all of the appendices are included, and the expanded version of the Proper of Saints is included: the versicle and antiphon for Lauds and Vespers of every feast are included. This helps with ease of use, reducing page flips.

I've also fixed some typos, and would like to extend a special thanks to those who have contacted me with typos and errors.

A very Merry Christmas to all!

New version now online - many updates

After a long hiatus, I have finally posted an update to the PDF files for the Breviary. These include corrections and updates too numerous to list, including many errors. Most of these corrections are in the Proper of Saints. I have also made changes in the Proper of Seasons (specifically Advent). I plan to update the rest of the Proper of Seasons in the same way as I have done with Advent.

Sorry for the long delay!

No progress on approval

It has been some time since I posted on this blog, and much has happened in the intervening months. I have made numerous corrections and changes to the texts, which are available in PDF format at http://stores.lulu.com/breviary

Sadly, I have not made any progress in getting permission to "publish" this work. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please contact me at breviary@indyblue.com.

Thanks and God bless,
David
