Dear Prof Kwasniewski, I think you’ll be amused: I ordered a hard copy of The Iron Sceptre (Os Justi) from Amazon, and began reading it. Wow, I thought, this is a very weird way to start this book! I finished the first chapter which was about a murder in Greystone Park in England and thought, ok, maybe Fimister is going to make an early point about evil. But it seemed so weird.
So I checked the book again and Amazon had put the wrong book in the right jacket!😱😱😱😱
Now you’ve done it again, Dr K! How can my little budget sustain all these wp]wonderful books you tell us about? Seriously, thank you for bringing these books to our attention.
Yes. Thank you. The reason wich I have turned to the Monastic Breviary being myself a diocesan priest is to recover in some sense the psalterium of the ages. I think the change of the psalterium by Saint Pius X was not a good idea, saying it politely. It is true that it had become difficult to pray the currency of the psalterium weekly, but that didn’t mean to change the order of the psalms
I agree. It would have been better either to insist on the recitation of the weekday psalms except on the greatest feastdays, or to require only certain offices of active clergy (vs. all of the office required of religious or priests on retreat or retired). There would have been other ways than overthrowing the ancient Roman cursus psalmorum, which had been as stable a part of Catholic worship as the Roman Canon itself.
Thank you for publicizing Gerhard Eger's volume on the 1568 Breviary. It looks to be an excellent step along the way back to making it possible to say the ancient Roman Office in its proper form again.

Replacement is on the way. 👍
Oh my, that sort of thing has happened to me a few times as well. Once, one of my books had a children's story inside of it!

I second this comment. So far I need the Easter gift for "the middles" of my dear friend's
eight, Tolkien's letters because I love letter collections, the Psalterium and the bio of
Mother Yvonne-Aimee, of whom I have never heard.
Thank you- and safe travels!

And although it was not intentioned, an argument for the destroyers of everything in the forthcoming years
