$350 and it's all yours...Baronius Breviarium Romanum

[deus_lo_vult]

I have been very satisfied with the books! However, the ribbons are of awful quality. I will be replacing them in the very near future. It's not the fact that they fray but the fact that they are so very short and thus nearly unusable. I plan to compare the Baronius and Collegeville in the future. I have access to collegeville set here at the library.

The ribbons on my Divine Office from the FSSP are not the best quality either.  They look the same as on the Baronius edition.  How do you replace the ribbons and where can you buy them?

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the forums and had a couple of questions regarding the Breviary.  I have noticed that there are some typos within the introductory pages.  Also, I see on page 85 in Volume II that, in the Pater Noster, they spell the word "quotidianum" as cotidianum.  I originally thought this was a typo as well, but after researching it, I found that it can be spelled both ways.  Is this correct or another typo?  Why the difference between the two spellings? 

Has anyone found any other typographical mistakes within the main body?

Thanks,

Robert

Cotidianum is fine.

What were the typos in the intro you noticed?

I haven't seen any typos yet myself.

On p. xii - I see, both,  the word "practise" and the word "practice" used.  I understand that British usage will sometimes choose "practise" but why is there both forms being used as a noun?  The same thing with "emphasised on that page, as well as "ommitted" instead of "omitted"

I came across one big one somewhere in there, which is what got me questioning some of these other ones, but go figure, I can't seem to find it.

I'm assuming at this point that all these things which I originally though were errors, are in fact correct, just British usage?  It would make sense since Baronius is a British company.  But still, why use  "practise" and then, lines later, use "practice" in the same context?

Maybe I'm just being too picky.

The collegeville breviary's ribbons that I have are still in shape after all these years and constant use!

Hello,

I have noticed a typo on Page 288, Volume II - Canticle of David:  the second to last line, "cconfitemur"

Can anyone else confirm this?

With all due respect, what is your problem? It would be perfectly justifiable to publicize a product that was riddled with errors. But any initial publication with over six thousand pages from any source is bound to have a mistake here and there. That is how things are in this life. But you seem to be on a mission to nitpick the Breviary to excess and loudly trumpet whatever imperfection you can find, for the sole purpose of embarrassing the company and potentially discouraging sales. Might I suggest keeping things in proper perspective and stop with the game of "gotcha"? What you are doing is hardly a Catholic way of supporting a Catholic operation.

There were always going to be some typos with such a large work.  But to be perfectly honest if the worst of it is an extra 'c' in 'confitemur' then you have it good.  My Little Office has entire Versicles, Antiphons and Collects in the wrong place.

If anyone's in the mood for a good laugh, go look at the title for Reading 255 in the Table of Contents for Baronius Press's "Divine Intimacy", published in 2010.

That being said, I cannot WAIT to dive into my Brevary that just showed up today. It's going to take me a few days just to get through the intros and rubrics before I can even figure out how to pray these. I'm just wondering who we need to bribe to get the Baronius Press equivalent of the Saint Joseph Guide for the Liturgy of the Hours. That would be SUPER sweet.

But I'm at work and can't run to it!  The suspense...
