Manual of Episcopal Ceremonies; Archabott Stehle

The highly-regarded 2-volume rubrical work for various pontifical ceremonies according to the traditional Roman Rite is available again!  Once difficult and expensive to obtain can now be yours for a reasonable price.

Consisting of 456 pages, this set is packed with invaluable information about pontifical ceremonies and a must for anyone who has care of the Church's sacred liturgy.

Originally printed in 1961, this edition is concurrent with the 1962 rubrics for those pontifical ceremonies treated, such as Mass at the Throne or Faldstool, Low Mass, Mass celebrated in the Presence of a Greater Prelate, Vespers, the Investiture of a Monsignor, Candlemas, Ash Wednesday, Holy Week (per the 1955 reform), and much more!

Each volume is handsomely hardbound in red cloth with gold embossing on the cover and spine, sewn binding, a marking ribbon, and printed on natural-colored paper.
