Product details

The Monastic Diurnal or the Day Hours of the Monastic Breviary (8th edition)
A republication of the 1963 edition of the Benedictine hours of Prime, Lauds, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers, and Compline, in Latin and English in parallel columns for all the feasts and seasons in the traditional Benedictine calendar, with an updated table of movable feasts and a Benedictus/Magnificat card. The Latin text is the traditional Vulgate Psalter. Ideal for novices, monks, and nuns when traveling, Benedictine oblates, guests at monasteries, and all who wish to draw upon the riches of the ancient and traditional Benedictine office. Printed in black and red throughout and bound in real Moroccan leather with a flexible cover, gilt edges, and six marker ribbons, this is a truly beautiful book.

The new 8th edition shares the same texts as the preceding ones, but is printed on thinner paper, significantly reducing the volume's thickness.

- Printed at St Michale's Abbey Press, England.

Customers praised this prayerbook's beautiful craftsmanship, describing it as "a work of art." The 8th edition features flexible covers, gold page edges, sewn binding that stays open, and six ribbons. Shoppers appreciated the compact yet readable font and easy-to-follow layout for monastic hours with English translation.

  • What a beautiful book - a work of art!
  • The font is easy to read with a lovely English translation.
  • Compact and beautifully bound.

The Monastic Diural 8th edition is beautiful

The Monastic Diural 8th edition is beautiful. It is the perfect hand held size with a beautifully imprinted flexible front and rear cover, gold along the page edges, sewn binding that stays open when you lay it down and six ribbons. Small though the book may be, the font is easy to read and large enough. The book has all of the daytime hours, but it is still uncomplicated and relatively easy to follow along and find my way. It is a great book with a lovely English translation.

I purchased my book from Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery who had a grat price, shipped it quickly and packaged it like the treasure the book actually is.
