MISSALE ROMANUM

Benziger Brothers' 1962 (USA) edition

Once the preferred altar missal amongst the American clergy, Benziger's classic standard edition will be available again soon!  SEE NOTA BENE FOR DELIVERY STATUS

< click image of original copy being reproduced to enlarge.  See our MEDIA PAGE for more images.

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).
