1967 English Translation of Breviarium S.O.P. - ONLINE

Thanks to the generous help of a reader of this blog, Mr. Joseph P. Bradley, MD, OP, I have been able to make substantial headway with my long-desired project to put the entire 1967 English translation of the 1962 Breviarium SOP online, in a convenient and usable format.

My goal was to have a page on this blog, that is essentially a Table of Contents of the entire breviary, with hyperlinks to the various sections.  Toward that end, Mr. Bradley was kind enough to devote the time to scanning Volume as a pdf document last Fall, and the page is now set up and available for public use.  All that is missing are the Propers of the Season and Saints from Volume II, which we hope to have available by late Spring/early Summer 2019.

To access the online version of the Breviary, simply click on the banner link above, which says "1967 Dominican Breviary in English".


It will take you to the Table of Contents page.  Simply click on the hyperlink and the pdf document for that section should appear.


Once the two Propers from Volume II are uploaded there will be a complete copy of the 1967 English translation online for the first time, that I am aware of.  I hope everyone who enjoys this blog, or who has some devotion to the traditional Office of the Order of Preachers, will use and enjoy this page.
