About the Item

Impressive antique hymnal or songbook titled "Antiphonaire, Antiphonarium Romanum," featuring Latin Gregorian hymns of Psalms, dated 1862. This large and heavy Antiphonary serves as a Catholic liturgical book that compiles the scores of prayer offices known as Canonical Hours. Its name originates from "antiphon," a song performed alternately by two choirs and found within the antiphonary. Crafted with a beautiful large leather cover and brass detailing, this antique songbook contains Gregorian chants sung during Mass. The book features substantial paper pages, displaying printed Latin songs and sheet music. Please note: the physical object can differ slightly in colour from the object as presented online. We have made every effort to display colours accurately, but cannot guarantee that the pictures accurately reflect the colour of those goods in real life.
