The 1963 Breviarium Monasticum, which never suffered these injuries, would be much more deserving of the epithet.

Set the rubrics to “Rubrics 1960” and you’ll be good to go. It even has the Douay-Rheims in English next to the Latin. I use this site as my crutch during Matins at night. Best of all it’s free. If you own an iPad – congratulations, with this site you now have a Latin Breviary with parallel Latin and English! I just started learning about the Divine Office/LOTH in the last six months.
I have a desire to go with the traditional and Latin but don’t know Latin very well, just learning. Without this info you just shared on the Divine Office vs LOTH, I chose to get the Mundelein Psalter which has morning, evening, and night prayer. Do you have any experience with this psalter? My family and I will eventually be going to something more traditional but this seems to be working well so far to get us introduced to doing the Office anyway 🙂.
I have made a chapel in my house (a former kitchen) and have been saying the Daily Office modified slightly from the 1928 Episcopal Book of Common Prayer. Morning and Evening Prayer have blossomed into prayer on waking (around 4-6am, prayer at 9, noon, 6 and 11).
After finding the Pater Noster on youtube, I began memorizing other parts of the Office in Latin, both canticles, psalms and prayers. I am also making baby steps in learning to use the Liber Usualis singing the chants in Latin. I find that praying in Latin is mentally liberating and calming, and even moreso when from memory. I have learned alot from this site and greatly appreciate its availability. May God continue to bless your ministry and teaching. Marshall, I have prayed the LOTH and now pray the Little Office of the BVM.
I don’t pray all of the hours right now – would like to move that direction, though. That being said, I start with Prime in the morning. I seem to recall in the LOTH that for the first hour you pray, regardless of which hour it is, you always pray the invitatory (which is the beginning of Matins).
Is that the case with the Little Office of the BVM and also the Traditional Divine Office? I have been praying that invitatory first and really like it. I have not been able to find anything on this. I’m a Third Order Carmelite from the Philippines, and I’d like to pray the pre-Vatican II breviary at least in my private recitation (in our communal recitation we use the LOTH). Someone gave me a Breviarium Romanum with only one volume (out of two). I can’t afford to buy a second volume (which costs around USD 150) of the Breviarium. I’m trying to use it as a diurnal, praying only the Lauds, Prime, Sext, Terce, None, Vespers and Compline using the psalter, but i’m having trouble with the antiphons because of the season.

Breviarium Monasticum 1962
Someone asked about chant books for Monastic Matins, so I thought I'd set out what I've found on books for Matins more generally - others may wish to chip in! This is a post for the enthusiasts only! The Breviary The essential book for officially approved version of Matins is the Monastic Breviary - in full, 'Breviarium Monasticum Summorum Pontificum cura recognitum pro omnibus sub regula S.
Benedicti militantibus issu abbatis primatis editum'. It is published by Marietti at Rome, 1963 and comes in two volumes. These days it is of course out of print, but can be found readily in secondhand book shops. This edition is of course in Latin only. If you really want the English, there are a couple of options. Lancelot Andrews Press have published an edition of it entirely in English. It follows the structure for Matins set out by St Benedict, but uses the psalms from the Book of Common Prayer/Scripture from the King James Version.
The Gospels and other readings do not always line up with the official version, and it obviously doesn't come with an imprimatur. The other option is that Clear Creek monastery has produced a partial parallel Latin-English text for the use of their novices and visitors, covering ferias only (you can obtain it through lulu).
It does not provide the variable texts such as readings, and texts for seasons and feasts however. I have also mentioned in a previous post the book of Liturgical Readings put out by Grail Publications which provides many of the patristic readings (available in a reprint). Singing Matins In terms of actually singing Matins, a fair amount of the music is available from books you may already have, or that can be downloaded from the net. In particular:. the Liber Hymnarius provides most (though not all) of the invitatory antiphons and hymns;. the psalms and antiphons for the daily (ferial) Office can be;. the provides most of the responsories and other texts you need is available (also reprinted by Nova et Vetera) The other useful book you may wish to acquire is the Processionale Monasticum (though most of its contents also appear in the Liber Responsorialis), which is also readily available in a reprint.
I know this might be a lot of effort, but as far as Matins goes, I would simply like to know which Psalms are being said each day. I know they are variable, but even if you posted a table just so we knew which psalms we were 'missing' by only saying the day hours would be great. Again, if this is too much trouble, I understand, but I personally do not see myself saying Matins for a while, nor do I have money to buy it simply to know which psalms I should 'stay up' with on my own in order to keep reading/praying the entire psalms and bible. Here is the link to the Psalterium for Matins.
I finally just got my Nova Et Vetera Liber Responsorialis. Now I can follow along with all the Gregorian Chant CD's I have bought. Some of them are from Matins. Where would you recommend for me to get a Breviarum Monasticum from. I bought the Solesmes Antiphonale you recommended. By the way thank you so much for the effort you have put in the website.
God will richly Bless you for it. It seems like I am set, all I need now is that Breviarum Monasticum.
Does Solesmes have New ones printed? If they do I would like to buy it, definitely sometime soon. Dean - I think the short answer is, not very! It is certainly a useful starting point if you are looking for the psalms. As a devotion I guess it is fine. But as far as I can tell it doesn't actually follow any of the approved breviaries of any period, just does a cut and paste of the Roman Breviary according to the provisions in the Rule.
The problem with that is that firstly it ignores how the Office has actually been said pretty much from the Carolingian period onward. And because it is based on the Roman Breviary, it doesn't include all the readings, antiphons etc.
Unfortunately I don't own a copy (I mainly use the Monastic Breviary these days), but as far as I can gather it works reasonably well as a devotional prayer. Some calendar alignment issues of course. I have to say though that my personal view is that we should try and keep some balance in our lives between liturgical prayer, lectio divina and work/family/community engagement. If you add Matins into the mix, that's a lot of liturgical prayer and it has to come at the expense of something. In my view most laypeople (unless they are single, retired and attempting to live a quasi-monastic life!) would be better off saying a short version of Matins if they must, such as the Little Office of Our Lady, or perhaps three of the psalms of the Monastic Matins (do a four week rotation) and putting more time into lectio divina and especially parish/community/family life, consistent with their state of life. Matins has always been regarded as a particularly monastic domain for good reasons.

Kate, up to now I've been reciting the MD Matins of the Dead but keep wanting to use my Anglican Monastic Matins for the patristic readings. I've already divided the psalms of each nocturn in half, but never got into the habit or reciting Monastic Matins. Thank you for suggesting a four week rotation!
I probably would have discounted the suggestion from anyone else!:) I will try this for Lent. Thanks, Judith.
