It
will also be the ONLY reprinted missal available
in complete conformity with the
final revisions made by the Holy See in
1962
to the traditional Roman Missal. So unlike the other “1962”
missal being offered in the USA, our edition will
include:
-
ST.
JOSEPH'S NAME IN THE CANON (added in November 1962),
-
the
AD LIBITUM PREFACES (added in July
1962 and which includes the restored Advent
preface),
-
the
PRO
ALIQUIBUS LOCIS
section specifically arranged for
the USA DIOCESES per the 1962 liturgical calendar (added
in December 1962) [click
here to view pdf of header page for this section],
-
and
the original imprimatur by Cardinal Francis
Spellman.
The
famed Benziger Brothers were one of America's premier
printers to the Apostolic See before they went bankrupt
shortly after the Second Vatican Council. This
faithful reprint of their altar missal is a testament to
their labors which were not in vain and are of service
to American Catholics in the 21st century as they were
40 years ago in the 20th!

At
1290 pages, and measuring 83/8” x 11¼”
(approximately 2¾” thick), this is a
major project, nevertheless every effort is
being made to match Benziger’s renowned quality and
will include such features as:
|
|
|
|
|
-
hard casing in red (or green) durable bonded leather (wears better than leather and requires no special care)
-
ornate
gold-embossing on both
cover boards and spine
-
thick cover boards and
reinforced spine with decorative hubs
(as shown above on the original)
-
poly-grosgrain colored ribbons finished with bows (prevents
fraying)
-
strong
midi-braid leads bridging ribbons to the spine (protects pages and life of ribbons)
|
-
flexible
bonded leather tabs in matching cover color
and black
-
original
quality black and red text throughout (all exact
scans of the original pages)
-
sturdy
sewn binding and endsheet construction
-
non-acid
missal-quality paper (nearly the identical specs
Benziger used)
-
gilded
page edges
-
a slip jacket for proper storage of your
investment

Nota
bene about deadline for delivery:
Due to the complexity of manufacturing the
various high-quality components that comprise
this reprint, our original deadline has been extended by a few months
(we
hope by the end of August).
