It is one of the so called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liturgical_books_of_the_Roman_Rite" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liturgical_books_of_the_Roman_Rite" rel="nofollow">liturgical books of the Roman rite</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>During Medieval times breviaries were written to serve a specific location, church or order. During the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Trent" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Trent" rel="nofollow">council of Trent</a> (1545–1563), <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Pius_V" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Pius_V" rel="nofollow">Pope Pius V</a> reformed most liturgical books and ordered them to follow the Roman rite (hence the name Breviarium Romanum=breviary that follows the Roman rite).</p><p><br /></p><p>The breviary normally contains 4 parts: one for every season, that mostly were bound separately:</p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>The winter volume (pars hiemalis)<br /> <br /> </li> <li>The spring volume (pars verna)<br /> <br /> </li> <li>The summer volume (pars aestiva)<br /> <br /> </li> <li>The autumn volume (pars autumnalis) &lt;-- your copy</li> </ul><p>The oldest breviary in my collection (Plantin, Antwerp - 1569). As the council of Trent dictated the contents of the book, your copy will be very similar to this 377 year older copy.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]510785[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]510786[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
