Missale monasticum secundum consuetudinem vallisumbrosae Editio Princeps (1503)

More than five hundred years after its first edition, Libreria Editrice Vaticana is currently publishing the anastatic reprint of the Missal which has marked for centuries the liturgical life of the Congregation of Vallombrosa.
This 71st volume of the series of books Monumenta Studia Instrumenta Liturgica collects an ever so precious material which is an essential source both for liturgical surveys and for those strictly related to the history of Vallombrosa. It also contains the colour reproductions of the example used during the celebrations of the Abbot, today conserved at the Marucelliana Library of Florence.
An handbook of sure interest for liturgists, for students of Theology as well as for religious congregations with the aim of being an example and stimulus to better understand the history of Christian worship.
