Roman Breviary
The Roman Breviary (Ecclesiastical Latin, Latin: ''Breviarium Romanum'') is a breviary of the Roman Rite in the Catholic Church. A liturgical book, it contains public or canonical Catholic prayer, prayers, hymns, the Psalms, readings, and notations for everyday use, especially by bishops, priests, and deacons in the Divine Office (i.e., at the canonical hours, the Christians' daily prayer). The volume containing the daily hours of Catholic prayer was published as the ''Breviarium Romanum'' (Roman Breviary) from its ''editio princeps'' in 1568 under Pope Pius V until the reforms of Paul VI (1974), when replaced by the Liturgy of the Hours. In the course of the Catholic Counter-Reformation, Pope Pius V (r. 1566–1572) imposed the use of the Roman Breviary, mainly based on the ''Breviarium secundum usum Romanae Curiae'', on the Latin Church of the Catholic Church. Exceptions are the Benedictines and Dominican Order, Dominicans, who have breviaries of their own, and two surviving ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jean Beleth
Jean Beleth (; –1182) was a twelfth-century French liturgist and theologian. He is thought to have been rector in a Paris theological college.

Life Beleth is recorded at Tiron in 1135, studying at Chartres around that time, probably teaching theology in Paris, and recorded in 1182 at Amiens. Works His ''Summa de Ecclesiasticis Officiis'' is a manual and now a source for the Christian liturgy of his time; it was later printed (''Rationale divinorum officiorum''), and has been dated to 1162.

Bible
The Bible is a collection of religious texts that are central to Christianity and Judaism, and esteemed in other Abrahamic religions such as Islam. The Bible is an anthology (a compilation of texts of a variety of forms) originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek. The texts include instructions, stories, poetry, prophecies, and other genres. The collection of materials accepted as part of the Bible by a particular religious tradition or community is called a biblical canon. Believers generally consider it to be a product of divine inspiration, but the way they understand what that means and interpret the text varies. The religious texts were compiled by different religious communities into various official collections. The earliest contained the first five books of the Bible, called the Torah in Hebrew and the Pentateuch (meaning 'five books') in Greek. The second-oldest part was a collection of narrative histories and prophecies (the Nevi'im). The third co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Old Covenant
Abrahamic religions believe in the Mosaic covenant (named after Moses), also known as the Sinaitic covenant (after the biblical Mount Sinai), which refers to a covenant between the Israelite tribes and God, including their proselytes, not limited to the ten commandments, nor the event when they were given, but including the entirety of laws that their patriarch Moses delivered from God in the five books of Torah. According to the biblical narrative, the Book of the Covenant, recording all the commands of the , was written by Moses in the desert and read to the people, and to seal the covenant, the blood of sacrificial oxen was then sprinkled, half on an altar and half on the people. Historical-critical scholarship The concept of a covenant began long before the biblical era, specifically the beginnings of Israel. According to George E. Mendenhall, covenants were originally established as legal customs and then later were replicated in the field of religion. These covenan ...

Directorium
''Directorium'' is a Latin word denoting a guide. In the later Middle Ages it was specially applied to Catholic liturgical guides for praying the Divine Office and Holy Mass. Early history In the early fifteenth century Clement Maydeston, likely following foreign precedents, titled his reorganized '' Sarum Ordinal'' the "''Directorium Sacerdotum''". In this way, the words "''Directorium Sacerdotum''" came to be included in the beginning of many books instructing clergy on the form of Divine Office and Mass to be prayed each day of the year. Some of these books are among the earliest products of the printing press in England. The use of "''directorium''" was not specific to England. A very similar work was published at Augsburg in 1501 with the title ''Index sive Directorium Missarum Horarumque secundum ritum chori Constanciensis diocesis dicendarumn'', though it is not the earliest example. This title evidences that a ''directorium'' had to be formatted according to the needs ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
