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.

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.
