* The Diurnal, and the Diurnal Noted, are already in print. (Lancelot Andrews Press) The files in the upper block above have been brought into line with older versions, which are proving to differ considerably. The files in the first line of each block have their pages in sequence for convenience of reading on line.Those in the second (and third) lines were shuffled for home printing and displayed (firstly) as sides 1 and 2. But: from now on, files are for a colour Laserjet and the printing files end in -12. The older ones ending in -1 and -2 are for an inkjet; but with a little shuffling of the sheets each can be used with the other type.

I have resumed editing the Monastic Office, I and now have the needed pre-1900 Latin texts. Previously I followed the 1925 edition with a few alterations. The music of the Psalter of Matins is finished (mainly 1925), and the Proper of the Season. I am working through the Proper of the (unnoted) complete Office. This will be useful to those who have been using the Monastic Diurnal, whether noted or not, as most of the available music is in the Day Hours. The Rubrics files in the upper block contain the more traditional set of General Rubrics, Kalendar, and table of Occurrence / Concurrence, together with Canon Douglas's version (except for his Kalendar). All the older files will have the number 92 or 11 or the letters OM in their names; if they do not. they are of the 1925 edition.

CONCERNING THE YEAR AND ITS PARTS

This document in the Breviary and the Missal deals mostly with the calculation of Easter and its reform in 1582. It is not included in the English Breviary or the Monastic Breviary, since it is not accepted for Orthodox use. However, Hilary Jervis of the Gregorian Club asked me to translate it many years ago, and I thought it might be of interest.. It is replaced in my Breviaries by a current Table of Moveable Feasts according to the Easter dates approved by the Orthodox Churches (2000 to 2040 A.D.)
